About our new build mastic in Lemsford
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you’re dealing with sealant that never bonded to the surface and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Lemsford just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Lemsford: your questions answered
Can you do new build mastic in Lemsford?
Yes, Lemsford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Welwyn Garden City station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What colour sealant will you use?
It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We will agree it with you first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we’ll quote for the sealant items. If something isn’t sealant, we will say so.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Lemsford, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you need new build mastic in Lemsford?
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
For new homes near Welwyn Garden City station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
