How we handle new build mastic in Wigginton
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We are often asked to deal with sealant that never bonded to the surface and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, on show homes, plot handovers and kitchens.
For a small place like Wigginton, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

How we quote for new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.
Common problems we fix in Wigginton
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Internal frame sealant that has split
Around Wigginton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Why deal with it now?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wigginton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

FAQs for Wigginton
Do you cover Wigginton for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wigginton is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Wigginton?
All our work, in Wigginton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
How long does new build mastic take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Wigginton needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
