About our new build mastic in Staplestreet
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. If you have worktop and upstand sealant coming away and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Staplestreet, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we are called out for in Staplestreet
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Look out for any of the following:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Around Staplestreet, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Staplestreet
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.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Leave it or put it right?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few pictures. In a small place like Staplestreet, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.

Advice
Staplestreet questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Selling station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Staplestreet?
Yes. Staplestreet is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are usually two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
