Common questions in Rusper
Will you come out to Rusper?
Yes, Rusper is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Rusper for new build mastic?
Yes, Rusper is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
New build mastic in Rusper, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. If you have frame joints opening as the plaster dries and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can put it right.
Around Rusper, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Signs you need new build mastic in Rusper
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
In and around Rusper, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What preparation is included
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.

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. In a small place like Rusper, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Rusper, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
