What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Plot handovers
  • Kitchens
  • Bathrooms & en suites
  • Skirting & floors
  • Windows & doors
  • Show homes

How we handle new build mastic in Mount Bures

For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and the jobs we see most are new-build shower sealant that has already split and cracks appearing as a new home settles.

Around Mount Bures, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

New homes and floors in Mount Bures

Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

Around Mount Bures, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Bures station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why deal with it now?

For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mount Bures can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Why us?

  • Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
  • Neat joints and a tidy finish
  • White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
  • Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mount Bures

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

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.

How the job changes by surface

Kitchens

Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.

Windows and doors

On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.

How it works

We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Mount Bures needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
  2. The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
  3. We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What affects the cost of new build mastic

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • The size of the job
  • The product the joint needs

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • If someone has resealed it before
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

Common questions in Mount Bures

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bures station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Do you cover smaller places like Mount Bures?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

How long will you be here?

As a guide, most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

What colour sealant will you use?

White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.

Will it make a mess?

Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.

Do the sealants smell?

Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

Should I try it myself first?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
