About our new build mastic in Enstone
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. We work on show homes, plot handovers and kitchens, and people most often call us about leaking shower tray seals in a new home and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
For a small place like Enstone, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How we quote for new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Do you need new build mastic in Enstone?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
If you’ve bought a new home near Charlbury station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Comparing quotes
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the cure time is
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Enstone, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in

Questions from Enstone
Is Enstone within the area you cover?
Yes. Enstone is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Charlbury station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we’ll quote for the sealant items. If something is not sealant, we’ll say so.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
