New build mastic for homes and businesses in Checkendon
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you have gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Checkendon just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

Do you need new build mastic in Checkendon?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
If you’ve bought a new home near Goring & Streatley station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What affects the cost of new build mastic

Why act early in Checkendon
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Around Checkendon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
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.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Colour agreed with you before work begins

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours in a single home in most cases.

- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any tricky access
