About our new build mastic in Ardley
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you’re dealing with sealant work across a run of new homes and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Ardley often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Ardley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

When to call us in Ardley
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Around Ardley, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

FAQs for Ardley
I let a flat near Bicester North station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Ardley within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ardley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We’re fully insured
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
