If you’re dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Your questions about new build mastic in Newington
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Newington?
All our work, in Newington and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Newington?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Newington
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Around Newington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Newington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- 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
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What new build mastic looks like in Newington
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Whether the job is in Newington itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Newington is about 7 miles north-east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Wherever you are in the OX10 postcode area, we cover new build mastic for homes and businesses. Our area takes in 443 places across Oxfordshire, large and small. There’s also a page for Oxford, about 8 miles away.
Here we cover the OX10 postcode area for new build mastic. We also cover Great Holcombe (1 mile south), Drayton St Leonard (1 mile west), Brookhampton (1 mile north-west), Stadhampton (1 mile north) and Berrick Salome (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Oxford (8 miles north-west), Didcot (7 miles south-west), Abingdon-on-Thames (7 miles west), Thame (8 miles north-east), Wantage (14 miles west) and Henley-on-Thames (13 miles south-east).
Local landmarks in Newington
In Newington, that means homes and buildings near The Catherine Wheel pub. Nearby you will also find Littlemore Hospital (5.7 miles north-west) and Brightwell Castle (4.3 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Wittenham Clumps and Wells Farm.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
We quote each job on its own. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you are 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.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
