Questions from Hipley
I let a flat near Portchester station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Hipley within the area you cover?
Yes, Hipley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. There’s normally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
You will hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing will not fix it, so we won’t pretend it will.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Hipley
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Common call-outs are for wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and products that weren’t meant for the joint, across failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
Homes around Hipley are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, and we will tell you if we find it.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hipley
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Remedial sealant around Hipley
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Portchester station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What we’re called out for in Hipley
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, 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.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Give the new sealant its full cure time: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Hipley, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
