New build mastic in Pilgrims Hatch, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. We work on show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Pilgrims Hatch, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Common problems we fix in Pilgrims Hatch
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
Around Pilgrims Hatch, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Pilgrims Hatch: your questions answered
Do you cover Pilgrims Hatch for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Pilgrims Hatch is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room and agree it with you.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone right away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
New homes and floors in Pilgrims Hatch
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Brentwood station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- 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 normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots for a typical job. Parking around Pilgrims Hatch is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- 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.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
