New build mastic for homes and businesses in Oakfield
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you’re dealing with gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Oakfield range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
New build mastic around Oakfield
Oakfield is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Oakfield, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the quote in Oakfield
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Signs you need new build mastic in Oakfield
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
If you’ve bought a new home near Ryde St Johns Road station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Oakfield, along with the rest of our area.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job. For a job in Oakfield, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
