How we handle new build mastic in Ambrosden
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. Typical jobs include second-fix sealing on new plots and cracked caulk along new skirting, on kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Ambrosden, it’s often a small development or a single plot. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Common questions in Ambrosden
Will you come out to Ambrosden?
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 you work for landlords with property near Bicester Village station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room and agree it with you.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope and we’ll quote.
Common problems we fix in Ambrosden
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
For new homes near Bicester Village station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In an older home around Ambrosden, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
