The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Horton-cum-Studley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Horton-cum-Studley
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Horton-cum-Studley. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you’re dealing with skirting joints opening in the first winter and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Horton-cum-Studley often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Horton-cum-Studley: your questions answered
Is Horton-cum-Studley within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Islip station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Horton-cum-Studley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
