New build mastic in West Leith
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
In a village or hamlet like West Leith, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like West Leith, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
Common questions in West Leith
Do you work for landlords with property near Tring station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like West Leith?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
What colour sealant will you use?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before work begins.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Why it’s worth doing now in West Leith
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Around West Leith, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Why choose Mr Mastic in West Leith

For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
