New build mastic in Woodley, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We’re often asked to deal with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, across bathrooms & en suites, show homes and skirting & floors.
Small business units and shops in a town like Woodley have floors that take heavy wear. Joints at thresholds and in tiled or concrete floors need resealing before the edges start to break up.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few photos and we will tell you. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why Woodley clients choose us

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In Woodley, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Questions from Woodley
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Woodley?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for landlords with property near Winnersh Triangle station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you need new build mastic in Woodley?
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.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Around Woodley, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
