About our new build mastic in Wyddial
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. We work on plot handovers, show homes and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and cracked caulk along new skirting.
Older homes in small places like Wyddial often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
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.

Questions from Wyddial
Is new build mastic in Wyddial guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Wyddial?
Yes, Wyddial is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
What does new build mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Wyddial needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.

New build mastic in Wyddial: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Wyddial, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When to call us in Wyddial
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
For jobs in and around Wyddial, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What product goes in the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is VAT in the price?
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
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 ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few pictures. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wyddial, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
