New build mastic near Sunningwell

Surface by surface

Kitchens

Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.

Skirting and floors

As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.

How we handle new build mastic in Sunningwell

We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. Typical jobs include messy sealant that spoils new finishes and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, across kitchens, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.

Somewhere as small as Sunningwell, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Sunningwell

Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Internal frame sealant that has split
  • Cracked caulk along new skirting
  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Sealant that never bonded to the surface

If you’ve bought a new home near Radley station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How to choose a mastic man

Leave it or put it right?

Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. In a small place like Sunningwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Why book with us

  • Neat joints and a tidy finish
  • More than 20 years in sealant work
  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
  • 12-month guarantee on every job

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

  • A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
  • Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
  • Plumbing faults behind the sealant

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we seal

  • Plot handovers
  • Windows & doors
  • Bathrooms & en suites
  • Skirting & floors
  • Show homes
  • Kitchens

For landlords and businesses

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

If you manage several properties in or around Sunningwell, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.

Aftercare tips

A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:

  • Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
  • Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
  • Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
  • Follow the cure time we give you

Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day before water reaches them.

If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
