Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Peldon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Peldon
- We agree the colour with you first
- Fully insured
- We never seal over old sealant
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
About our new build mastic in Peldon
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. If you have cracked caulk along new skirting and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can put it right.
Around Peldon, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

FAQs for Peldon
I let a flat near Wivenhoe station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Peldon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across 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 for domestic and commercial work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can, and we will quote. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
What new build mastic looks like in Peldon
Peldon is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you’ve bought a new home near Wivenhoe station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. Around Peldon, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the quote in Peldon
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Peldon, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
