Cassiobury questions
Do you cover smaller places like Cassiobury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Cassiobury?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What sealant do you use?
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.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
How we handle remedial sealant in Cassiobury
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have pictures when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould underneath the bead and over-sealed joints coming away.
In and around Cassiobury, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. A visit to Cassiobury is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Surface by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we will tell you if we find it.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In an older home around Cassiobury, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Cassiobury homes and their sealant

Rented homes near Watford Junction station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Homes close to St John's Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Watford St John's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
