How we handle new build mastic in Weston-on-the-Green

Across Weston-on-the-Green, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We are often asked to deal with joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, across show homes, plot handovers and windows & doors.

In a village or hamlet like Weston-on-the-Green, 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.

Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Weston-on-the-Green and across Oxfordshire.

Joints and finishes in Weston-on-the-Green homes

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

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

Why deal with it now?

The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Weston-on-the-Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

What you get with us

  • Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
  • Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
  • More than 20 years in sealant work
  • Full insurance on every job

When to call us in Weston-on-the-Green

Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.

The problems people normally mention when they call include:

  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
  • Cracks appearing as a new home settles
  • Messy sealant that spoils new finishes

In and around Weston-on-the-Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether VAT is included
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are

How to choose a mastic man

When it is not the sealant

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

  • Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
  • Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
  • Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

Should I try it myself first?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.

Keeping the joints in good condition

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
  • Record problems with dated pictures
  • Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
  • Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered

Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.

The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

What we do, step by step

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Weston-on-the-Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
  3. We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
  4. Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
  5. The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

Preparing for the visit

  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
