New-build mastic & snagging in Hempton, Oxfordshire
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Hempton? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Hempton, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- 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

Advice
New build mastic in Hempton, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We are often asked to deal with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, across bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and windows & doors.
Around Hempton, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Hempton and across Oxfordshire.

How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Common problems we fix in Hempton
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
Around Hempton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Hempton questions
Do you cover smaller places like Hempton?
Yes. Hempton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Kings Sutton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
How we quote for new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details. We will explain what we’d do and send you a clear quote before we start.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Record problems with dated photos
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
