New build mastic for homes and businesses in Potten End
Across Potten End, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
For a small place like Potten End, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need new build mastic in Potten End
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
In and around Potten End, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether VAT is included
Questions from Potten End
Will you come out to Potten End?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Berkhamsted station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day to cure enough for use.
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.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Potten End, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
