New build mastic in Sparsholt
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. Typical jobs include beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, across show homes, skirting & floors and kitchens.
Around Sparsholt, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

New build mastic around Sparsholt
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
FAQs for Sparsholt
Is Sparsholt within the area you cover?
Yes. Sparsholt is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is new build mastic in Sparsholt guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you need new build mastic in Sparsholt?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Look out for these signs:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
In and around Sparsholt, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Sparsholt, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- 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.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
