About our new build mastic in Kidlington
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include skirting joints opening in the first winter and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers.
In and around Kidlington, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Signs you need new build mastic in Kidlington
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
If you’ve bought a new home near Oxford Parkway station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Joints and finishes in Kidlington homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Record problems with dated photos
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Follow the cure time we give you
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why act early in Kidlington
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. Around Kidlington, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
