New build mastic in Stick Hill: local notes
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.
In and around Stick Hill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Hever station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Stick Hill is about 5 miles north-east of East Grinstead, in Kent.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Follow the cure time we give you
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Stick Hill: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hever station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Stick Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
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, and we’ll explain our choice.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stick Hill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why Stick Hill customers choose us
- We’re fully insured
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. Somewhere like Stick Hill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
