What colour sealant will you use?

How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours in a single home. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are normally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our one-year guarantee.
About our new build mastic in Willingdon
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. We are often asked to deal with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, across show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
For a small place like Willingdon, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
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.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Why act early in Willingdon
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few pictures and we will tell you. Around Willingdon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

New build mastic in Willingdon: local notes
Willingdon is within about 3 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Around Willingdon, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Hampden Park station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.

Advice
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job.
