If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
New build mastic in Oving, done properly
Across Oving, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on show homes, windows & doors and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant work across a run of new homes and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
Older homes in small places like Oving often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What new build mastic looks like in Oving
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 new homes near Chichester station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Oving, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, 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. Somewhere like Oving needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
