Remedial sealant in Martin Mill, done properly
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We’re often asked to deal with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and black mould underneath the bead, on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
For a small place like Martin Mill, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Remedial sealant around Martin Mill
Martin Mill is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Augustine, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Martin Mill station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Langdon Primary 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
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.
Common questions in Martin Mill
I let a flat near Martin Mill station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Martin Mill?
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 take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
What happens if it’s left?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Martin Mill, 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. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases. Somewhere as small as Martin Mill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
