Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
New build mastic in Deddington
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that is what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. We work on windows & doors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked caulk along new skirting and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
In a village or hamlet like Deddington, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Deddington and across Oxfordshire.

Signs you need new build mastic in Deddington
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
In and around Deddington, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Deddington, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a small place like Deddington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
