Why it’s worth doing now in Shalstone
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. If you are unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with photos and we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shalstone can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- You choose the colour before work begins
- 180+ five-star Google reviews

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Shalstone
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 plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Shalstone just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

What affects the quote in Shalstone
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Shalstone, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Common questions in Shalstone
Is Shalstone within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do new build mastic in Shalstone?
Yes, Shalstone is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Shalstone.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We’ll agree it with you first.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are usually two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Signs you need new build mastic in Shalstone
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Shalstone, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if the job turns out different
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
