New Build Mastic in East Hendred
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in East Hendred? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Internal frame sealant that has split
Do you need new build mastic in East Hendred?
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
For new homes near Didcot Parkway station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
About our new build mastic in East Hendred
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. If you have kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help.
Around East Hendred, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Your questions about new build mastic in East Hendred
Is East Hendred in your area for new build mastic?

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Didcot Parkway station?

Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone straight away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
What does new build mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Should I go to my builder first?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that doesn’t work out, we are happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Landlords and agents in East Hendred can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
