- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- 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.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wootton
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wootton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- You choose the colour before work begins

Signs you need new build mastic in Wootton
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
If you’ve bought a new home near Shepherds Well station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Questions from Wootton
I let a flat near Shepherds Well station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are normally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Wootton and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
