New Build Mastic in Chinnor
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Chinnor? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Internal frame sealant that has split
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
About our new build mastic in Chinnor
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. In both, preparation makes the difference. We’re often asked to deal with second-fix sealing on new plots and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, across plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
In smaller places like Chinnor, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. In an older home around Chinnor, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What else we do in Chinnor
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens, food-safe where it’s needed.
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.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours in a single home. Parking around Chinnor is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
