Oakridge New Build Mastic
New-build sealant joints in Oakridge need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
New build mastic in Oakridge, done properly
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around Oakridge, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Landlord and commercial work in Oakridge
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around Oakridge, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours in a single home in most cases. For a job in Oakridge, 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.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

Common problems we fix in Oakridge
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
If you’ve bought a new home near Basingstoke station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
