Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
New build mastic in Oakley
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We are often asked to deal with worktop and upstand sealant coming away and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, on kitchens, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Oakley, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. A visit to Oakley is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much there is to do
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Do you need new build mastic in Oakley?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
For new homes near Overton station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
