How we handle new build mastic in Margaret Roding
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation. We work on kitchens, show homes and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are second-fix sealing on new plots and gaps between new skirting and floors.
Older homes in small places like Margaret Roding often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Record problems with dated pictures
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish. In a small place like Margaret Roding, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Your questions about new build mastic in Margaret Roding
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Margaret Roding?
All our work, in Margaret Roding and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Margaret Roding within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
