About our new build mastic in Sandford-on-Thames
Across Sandford-on-Thames, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you have worktop and upstand sealant coming away and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can help.

When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Sandford-on-Thames, 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 look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.

Advice
Do you need new build mastic in Sandford-on-Thames?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry first.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
For new homes near Radley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What to look for in a quote
- What the cure time is
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in Sandford-on-Thames can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
