In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
New build mastic in Fair Oak
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you are dealing with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can help, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and kitchens alike.
In a village or hamlet like Fair Oak, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Fair Oak, 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 look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Common problems we fix in Fair Oak
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
If you’ve bought a new home near Thatcham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. Sealant work across the plot is covered.
Why act early in Fair Oak
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a small place like Fair Oak, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
