New build mastic for homes and businesses in Wootton
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We’re often asked to deal with second-fix sealing on new plots and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, across kitchens, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
Older homes in small places like Wootton often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why act early in Wootton
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Around Wootton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Common questions in Wootton
Is Wootton within the area you cover?
Yes, Wootton is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Tackley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Wootton, along with the rest of our area.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.

How we quote for new build mastic

What to tell us for a quote

- If someone has resealed it before

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
New homes and floors in Wootton
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
