The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Steven's Crouch needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Steven's Crouch
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have torn expansion joints and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can put it right, on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints alike.
Around Steven's Crouch, it’s 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Steven's Crouch questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Battle station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Steven's Crouch?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, normally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlord and commercial work in Steven's Crouch
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents and landlords in Steven's Crouch can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Give the new sealant its full cure time: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
When to call us in Steven's Crouch
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
Look out for any of the following:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
If you let a flat or house near Battle station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if the job turns out different
Leave it or put it right?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Around Steven's Crouch, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
