Remedial sealant in North Looe
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. If you’re dealing with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can put it right.
Homes around North Looe are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.

How the visit works
Once we are on site, 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. In a small place like North Looe, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What else we do in North Looe
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
FAQs for North Looe
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Epsom Downs station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in North Looe?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in North Looe
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
When to call us in North Looe
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Torn expansion joints
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Black mould underneath the bead
In the older streets around St John's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
