What new build mastic looks like in Potters Bar
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Potters Bar questions
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Potters Bar?
All our work, in Potters Bar and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Potters Bar in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Potters Bar is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Potters Bar?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking in a town like Potters Bar is usually straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- 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.
How to prepare

What happens if it’s left?

You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few pictures and we will give you a straight answer. In Potters Bar, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
