- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
New build mastic in Oving
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are new-build shower sealant that has already split and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
Somewhere as small as Oving, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day before water reaches them.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Advice
Do you need new build mastic in Oving?
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
If you’ve bought a new home near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings

Oving: your questions answered
Do you cover Oving for new build mastic?
Yes, Oving is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Oving, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
