About our new build mastic in Henwood
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. If you are dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right, on windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers alike.
Older homes in small places like Henwood often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
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 that suits the frame.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Henwood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
New build mastic in Henwood: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In and around Henwood, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For new homes near Oxford station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Henwood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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, so you know where you stand.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
Questions from Henwood
I let a flat near Oxford station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do new build mastic in Henwood?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Henwood is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
