New build mastic for homes and businesses in Great Tew
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 gaps between new skirting and floors and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help, on kitchens, skirting & floors and show homes alike.
In a village or hamlet like Great Tew, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Quotes for new build mastic in Great Tew
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What new build mastic looks like in Great Tew
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Great Tew, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. In a small place like Great Tew, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
