Common problems we fix in Owslebury Bottom
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
For new homes near Shawford station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

New build mastic in Owslebury Bottom, done properly
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you’re dealing with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, we can help, on windows & doors, show homes and skirting & floors alike.
Around Owslebury Bottom, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Owslebury Bottom and everywhere else we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. We will plan around viewing times.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Common questions in Owslebury Bottom
Is Owslebury Bottom in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Owslebury Bottom is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Owslebury Bottom?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Landlord and commercial work in Owslebury Bottom
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
