Why deal with it now?
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. Around Well End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Well End
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Well End
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you have joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Well End, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.

What else we do in Well End
When to call us in Well End
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
For new homes near Bourne End station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the cure time is
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.

Well End: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bourne End station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Well End in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Well End is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can, and we will quote. We will tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does new build mastic take?
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’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
