Joints and finishes in Faringdon homes

Whether the job is in Faringdon itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

New build mastic in Faringdon
Across Faringdon, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Typical jobs include cracked caulk along new skirting and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, across skirting & floors, show homes and windows & doors.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Faringdon, it’s often a small development or a single plot. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Faringdon and everywhere else we cover.

Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. In a smaller place like Faringdon, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

- We are fully insured
- More than 20 years in sealant work

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a smaller place like Faringdon, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Faringdon?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Do you need new build mastic in Faringdon?
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
The most common problems we see are:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
In and around Faringdon, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before you book anyone

- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if the job turns out different
- When the joint can take water or movement
How we quote for new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send photos if you have them.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
