When you need professional sealant services, a qualified Mastic Man provides the expertise essential for long-lasting, watertight results. With over 30 years experience in professional sealant application, we understand that proper mastic work is crucial for preventing water damage, mould growth, and structural deterioration. Whether you're dealing with failing bathroom sealant, kitchen worktop gaps, or weatherproofing requirements, our comprehensive mastic services deliver professional solutions backed by our 12-month guarantee.
The term "Mastic Man" represents a specialist tradesperson who understands the science behind modern sealant technology. Unlike general handymen who might apply basic silicone, professional mastic sealant services require knowledge of substrate compatibility, movement joints, compression ratios, and cure chemistry. Our technicians are trained in the latest application techniques and use only premium-grade sealants specifically chosen for each application. From antimicrobial bathroom formulations to food-safe kitchen products and weather-resistant external sealants, we ensure every job uses the right material applied with professional precision.
Our comprehensive Mastic Man services cover every sealant requirement in residential and commercial properties. With three decades of experience, we've perfected techniques for achieving invisible, durable seals that protect your property while enhancing its appearance. Each application begins with thorough assessment to identify the correct sealant type, joint design, and application method for lasting results.
Bathroom environments demand specialist sealant knowledge due to constant moisture exposure and temperature fluctuations. Our bathroom mastic services include complete shower enclosure sealing, bath-to-wall joints, basin and toilet sealing, and tile movement joints. We use premium antimicrobial silicones containing fungicides that actively prevent mould growth, essential in high-humidity environments.
Professional bathroom sealing involves more than just applying new sealant. We completely remove old, failing mastic using specialist tools that won't damage surfaces. The joint is then cleaned with professional solvents to remove soap residue, limescale, and mould spores. We apply primer where necessary to ensure maximum adhesion, particularly important on porous surfaces or when sealing dissimilar materials.
Kitchen sealant requires food-safe formulations and heat resistance around cooking areas. Our kitchen mastic services cover worktop-to-wall joints, sink sealing, splashback perimeters, and appliance gaps. We use specially formulated kitchen-grade silicones that resist grease, staining, and bacterial growth while maintaining flexibility despite temperature variations from cooking.
Worktop materials each require specific sealant types - granite needs neutral-cure silicone to prevent staining, while laminate requires acetoxy-cure for optimal adhesion. Our technicians understand these critical differences, ensuring your expensive worktops are protected without damage. We also colour-match sealants to complement your kitchen design, with access to over 40 shades beyond standard white and clear.
External mastic work demands weather-resistant products and expansion joint expertise. Our external sealant services include window frame perimeters, door surrounds, expansion joints, and roof connections. We use premium polyurethane and modified silicone sealants designed to withstand UV exposure, temperature extremes, and driving rain while maintaining elasticity for building movement.
Proper external sealing prevents costly water ingress that can cause timber rot, plaster damage, and heat loss. Our technicians calculate correct joint dimensions to accommodate thermal movement, ensuring sealant doesn't fail through over-compression or extension. We also install backing rod where appropriate, creating the optimal sealant profile for maximum durability and movement capability.
Commercial properties require mastic work that meets stringent health, safety, and building regulations. Our commercial services include restaurant kitchen sealing with HACCP-compliant products, healthcare facility sealing with antimicrobial formulations, retail premises with aesthetic colour matching, and office washroom maintenance programs. With 30 years serving commercial clients, we understand the importance of minimal disruption and professional presentation.
We provide detailed RAMS (Risk Assessment Method Statements) for all commercial work, carry comprehensive insurance, and can work outside normal hours to avoid business disruption. Our commercial-grade sealants offer extended durability reducing maintenance frequency, while our 12-month guarantee provides peace of mind for facility managers.
Failed sealant might seem like a minor issue, but the consequences can be severe and expensive. Water penetration through failed bathroom sealant causes timber joist rot requiring structural repairs costing thousands. Kitchen sealant failure leads to water damage behind units, requiring complete kitchen removal for remediation. Mould growth from poor sealing causes health issues and requires professional removal. External sealant failure allows water ingress causing plaster damage, insulation degradation, and heat loss increasing energy bills. Our professional mastic services, backed by 30 years experience and 12-month guarantee, prevent these costly problems before they develop.
While DIY sealant seems straightforward, professional application delivers vastly superior results. Professional mastic men use premium sealants costing 3-4 times retail products but lasting years longer. Specialist tools including sealant guns with precise pressure control and profiling tools create perfect beads. Knowledge of primer requirements, cure times, and tooling lubricants ensures optimal adhesion and appearance. Understanding of building movement and correct joint design prevents premature failure. With our 12-month guarantee, you're protected against any issues, unlike DIY attempts that often fail within months requiring complete re-doing.
Every mastic project begins with thorough assessment. We inspect existing sealant condition, identify failure causes, and determine correct replacement products. This includes measuring joint dimensions, checking substrate compatibility, and identifying any underlying issues like movement cracks or water damage that need addressing before new sealant application.
Preparation is crucial for long-lasting results. We protect surrounding surfaces with professional masking, ensuring clean lines without mess. Old sealant is completely removed using specialist tools, avoiding surface damage. The joint is then cleaned with appropriate solvents - isopropanol for non-porous surfaces, specialist cleaners for natural stone, ensuring contamination-free adhesion.
Primer application where required ensures maximum adhesion, particularly important on porous substrates or difficult materials like powder-coated aluminium. We use specific primers matched to both substrate and sealant type, applied precisely to manufacturer specifications.
Sealant application requires consistent pressure and speed for uniform bead formation. Our professional equipment ensures smooth, void-free application. The sealant is then tooled using appropriate lubricants - soapy water for standard silicones, specialist fluids for professional finishes. This creates the perfect concave profile for water run-off while ensuring full joint contact.
Quality control involves checking every metre of sealant for proper adhesion, profile, and appearance. Any imperfections are immediately corrected before curing begins. We ensure correct sealant depth-to-width ratios for optimal movement accommodation, preventing cohesive failure under stress.
Masking tape is removed at the precise moment for clean edges without sealant strings. The work area is thoroughly cleaned, with any sealant residue removed from adjacent surfaces. We provide specific curing time information and aftercare instructions to ensure maximum sealant longevity.
Our comprehensive aftercare guidance ensures your new sealant performs optimally for years. This includes recommended cleaning products that won't degrade sealant, maintenance schedules for different applications, and signs to watch for that indicate resealing requirements.
Every mastic job includes our 12-month guarantee covering adhesion failure, mould growth (with proper maintenance), and colour stability. With 30 years experience, we stand behind our work, providing peace of mind that your sealant will perform as expected. Should any issues arise, we respond promptly to resolve them under guarantee.

A professional Mastic Man specializes in the application and removal of sealants throughout properties. This includes bathroom and kitchen sealing, window and door weatherproofing, expansion joint sealing, and commercial sealant applications. Unlike general builders who might apply basic sealant, mastic specialists understand sealant chemistry, joint design, substrate preparation, and have access to professional-grade materials not available in DIY stores. With 30 years experience, we've developed expertise in selecting the right sealant for each application, ensuring long-lasting, professional results backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Sealant replacement frequency depends on location and quality. Bathroom sealant typically needs replacing every 3-5 years due to constant moisture exposure and movement. Kitchen sealant lasts 5-7 years with proper maintenance. External sealant can last 10-15 years if professionally applied with quality products. Signs requiring replacement include mould that won't clean off, gaps appearing at edges, hardening or cracking, and discoloration. Our professional application with premium sealants extends these timescales significantly, with our 12-month guarantee ensuring peace of mind.
While surface mould can sometimes be cleaned, mould penetrating into sealant requires complete replacement. Mould roots grow deep into silicone's porous structure, making complete removal impossible. Bleaching only removes visible mould temporarily - it returns within weeks. Our solution involves complete removal of affected sealant, treating the area with professional fungicides, and applying new antimicrobial sealant containing mould inhibitors. This prevents regrowth and is covered by our 12-month guarantee when properly maintained.
Technically, "mastic" is a general term for any sealant, while silicone is a specific type. However, "Mastic Man" has become the recognized term for sealant specialists. Modern sealants include silicone (most common for bathrooms/kitchens), polyurethane (external/structural applications), acrylic (decorating/low movement), MS polymer (multi-surface/paintable), and hybrid formulations combining properties. Our expertise covers all types, selecting the appropriate product for each application. With 30 years experience, we understand which sealant performs best in specific situations.
Professional mastic application ensures longevity and performance DIY attempts rarely achieve. Key differences include proper surface preparation removing all contaminants, correct primer selection for difficult substrates, professional-grade sealants lasting years longer, proper joint design accommodating movement, expert tooling creating perfect profiles, and knowledge of cure times and conditions. Our 12-month guarantee protects your investment, while our 30 years experience ensures we handle unusual situations correctly. Professional application typically costs less than repeated DIY attempts that fail prematurely.
