How we handle new build mastic in Millbrook
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation. If you’re dealing with second-fix sealing on new plots and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, we can help.
For a new home in or near Millbrook, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Why it’s worth doing now in Millbrook
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. In an older home around Millbrook, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What else we do in Millbrook
DIY sealant or a professional job?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are normally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. A visit to Millbrook is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
