New Build Mastic across Oxfordshire

How new build mastic works in Oxfordshire

We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Oxfordshire. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Common call-outs are for kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, across kitchens, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.

When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots.

  1. First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
  3. We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
  4. We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
  5. We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

New homes and floors across Oxfordshire

From Oxford, Banbury and Didcot to its smaller places, Oxfordshire has new developments as well as older homes. Snagging in new homes and floor joints in older ones are both part of the work.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in Oxfordshire is planned around the forecast.

Oxford: If you’ve bought a new home near Oxford station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Oxford, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Landlord and commercial work in Oxfordshire

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

How the job changes by surface

Windows and doors

External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.

Skirting and floors

Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.

Why it fails

If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
  • Cracked caulk along new skirting
  • Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
  • Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles

What happens if it’s left?

A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Which colour the sealant will be
  • Is VAT in the price?

Your questions about new build mastic in Oxfordshire

How much does new build mastic cost in Oxfordshire?

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.

When is the best time to reseal in a new build?

Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.

How long will you be here?

That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We’ll tell you when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Do you work through snagging lists?

Yes. Send it with pictures and we will quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.

Should I try DIY first?

That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?

If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
