How we handle remedial sealant in Wickstreet
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about floor or wall movement joints that have failed and beads that never stuck properly.
Somewhere as small as Wickstreet, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need remedial sealant in Wickstreet?
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Torn expansion joints
Rented homes near Berwick (Sussex) station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before we reseal.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we’ll say so.

Wickstreet: your questions answered
Will you come out to Wickstreet?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Wickstreet.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Wickstreet
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.
Schools such as Bede's Prep School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Pancras, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wickstreet
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wickstreet can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What else we do in Wickstreet

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Wickstreet, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
