DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
New build mastic in Walton Manor
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant around new window and door frames and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
In and around Walton Manor, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What else we do in Walton Manor
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and the area is left clean. For a job in Walton Manor, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Walton Manor
Is Walton Manor in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Walton Manor is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Oxford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something is not sealant, we will say so.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos. In a smaller place like Walton Manor, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.

Common problems we fix in Walton Manor
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.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Internal frame sealant that has split
If you’ve bought a new home near Oxford station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
