New build mastic in Chalton
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Somewhere as small as Chalton, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home from start to finish. In a small place like Chalton, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What else we do in Chalton
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chalton
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chalton 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 is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

How we quote for new build mastic
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
When to call us in Chalton
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
For new homes near Rowlands Castle station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
