Advice
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Shipton-on-Cherwell
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation. If you’re dealing with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help, on kitchens, windows & doors and skirting & floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Shipton-on-Cherwell, 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.
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.

What we’re called out for in Shipton-on-Cherwell
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
If you’ve bought a new home near Tackley station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Shipton-on-Cherwell questions
Can you do new build mastic in Shipton-on-Cherwell?
Yes, Shipton-on-Cherwell is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Shipton-on-Cherwell?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How much does new build mastic cost in Shipton-on-Cherwell?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. In a small place like Shipton-on-Cherwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We agree the colour with you first
- Old sealant always removed completely

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Record problems with dated photos
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
