New Build Mastic in Chale
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Chale? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Chale, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
How we handle new build mastic in Chale
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you have cracked sealant around new window and door frames and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Chale, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chale, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.

New build mastic around Chale
Chale is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting

- Second-fix sealing on new plots

- What guarantee comes with the work
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Letting agents and landlords in Chale can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
