New build mastic in Ardington
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have gaps behind new kitchen upstands and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Ardington often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Ardington
Do you cover Ardington for new build mastic?
Yes, Ardington is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Ardington?
All our work, in Ardington and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule, room by room. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.
New build mastic in Ardington: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Whether the job is in Ardington itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Ardington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Ardington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Why deal with it now?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ardington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
