Wendlebury: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bicester Village station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Wendlebury?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before work begins.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. If it isn’t resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
New build mastic in Wendlebury, 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, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are cracks appearing as a new home settles and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
For a small place like Wendlebury, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Do you need new build mastic in Wendlebury?
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Around Wendlebury, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
