New build mastic in Duns Tew
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly. Typical jobs include smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and internal frame sealant that has split, across plot handovers, skirting & floors and show homes.
Older homes in small places like Duns Tew often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need new build mastic in Duns Tew
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
Look out for these signs:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For new homes near Heyford station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Why it’s worth doing now in Duns Tew
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Duns Tew, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
