Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Record problems with dated photos
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
How we handle new build mastic in Witney
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes, and people most often call us about worktop and upstand sealant coming away and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
In a town like Witney, skirting and floor joints open up as homes settle and floors move with the seasons. A flexible sealant, rather than rigid filler, keeps those joints closed.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Quotes for new build mastic in Witney
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. For a job in Witney, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Witney: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Finstock station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Witney in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Witney is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
