Freefolk: your questions answered
Can you do remedial sealant in Freefolk?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Freefolk is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Freefolk within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Freefolk?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks normally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We will tell you before work begins.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
About our remedial sealant in Freefolk
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. Typical jobs include leaks that keep coming back after resealing and dark patches showing through the sealant, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Freefolk, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Common problems we fix in Freefolk
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Schools such as Testbourne Community School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We will tell you what we find.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Freefolk homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What happens if it’s left?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Freefolk, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Freefolk, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work
