How we handle new build mastic in Ovington
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are leaking shower tray seals in a new home and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
Older homes in small places like Ovington 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.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Ovington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Signs you need new build mastic in Ovington
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
Around Ovington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Kitchens

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.

Surface by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
