How we handle new build mastic in Owlswick
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you have sealant that never bonded to the surface and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, kitchens and show homes alike.
Around Owlswick, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Owlswick
Do you cover Owlswick for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Owlswick is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Monks Risborough station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Other services in Owlswick
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Do you need new build mastic in Owlswick?
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
In and around Owlswick, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Owlswick
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a small place like Owlswick, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
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.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours in a single home in most cases.

- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
