How we handle new build mastic in Ascott d'Oyley
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you are dealing with skirting joints opening in the first winter and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Ascott d'Oyley just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ascott d'Oyley

Older cottages and farmhouses around Ascott d'Oyley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Will you come out to Ascott d'Oyley?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you hold any approvals?

Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.

Where water is getting through, do not wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
