Rowstock questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Didcot Parkway station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.

Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
New build mastic in Rowstock, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. If you have worktop and upstand sealant coming away and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and kitchens alike.
In a village or hamlet like Rowstock, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- Access and height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Landlord and commercial work in Rowstock
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Landlords and letting agents in Rowstock can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Rowstock, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Common problems we fix in Rowstock
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Around Rowstock, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. Around Rowstock, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
