New build mastic for homes and businesses in Wapping
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Wapping. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you are dealing with skirting joints opening in the first winter and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover, in Wapping and beyond.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common questions in Wapping
Do you work for landlords with property near Wapping station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is parking an issue for new build mastic in Wapping?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Wapping and the rest of Greater London, along with the rest of our area.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Wapping. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
What affects the cost of new build mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
New build mastic around Wapping
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
If you’ve bought a new home near Wapping station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

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. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
