How we handle new build mastic in Vernham Dean
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We’re often asked to deal with gaps behind new kitchen upstands and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and windows & doors.
In a village or hamlet like Vernham Dean, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Vernham Dean and everywhere else we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we are called out for in Vernham Dean
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
In and around Vernham Dean, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What product goes in the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they’re fully insured

All our work, in Vernham Dean and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Vernham Dean for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Vernham Dean is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long does new build mastic take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does new build mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can. We will tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
