About our new build mastic in Oakley
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We are often asked to deal with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on show homes, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Somewhere as small as Oakley, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Oakley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
What new build mastic looks like in Oakley
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For jobs in and around Oakley, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Oakley, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about new build mastic in Oakley
Is Oakley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Oakley?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What affects the quote in Oakley
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Why act early in Oakley
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Oakley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
