- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
How we handle new build mastic in North Stifford
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Older homes in small places like North Stifford often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

North Stifford: your questions answered
I let a flat near Chafford Hundred station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover North Stifford for new build mastic?
Yes, North Stifford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Where is Mr Mastic based?

Do you work for developers?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule ready for handover. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope and we will quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Common problems we fix in North Stifford
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Around North Stifford, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why it’s worth doing now in North Stifford
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like North Stifford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
