New build mastic in Whippendell Bottom
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on show homes, plot handovers and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along new skirting and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
In a village or hamlet like Whippendell Bottom, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Whippendell Bottom, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Do you need new build mastic in Whippendell Bottom?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
If you’ve bought a new home near Kings Langley station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Whippendell Bottom and the rest of Hertfordshire, along with the rest of our area.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whippendell Bottom

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
- Skirting & floors

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
