New build mastic in Charlton, done properly
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Charlton. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are sealant work across a run of new homes and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
In a village or hamlet like Charlton, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Charlton as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Charlton
I let a flat near Upper Halliford station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Charlton within the area you cover?
Yes. Charlton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How much does new build mastic cost in Charlton?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Charlton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

New build mastic in Charlton: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Around Charlton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What else we do in Charlton
What happens if it’s left?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal can’t. If you are unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with photos and we’ll give you a straight answer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Charlton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the quote in Charlton
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For new build mastic in Charlton, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you will get a clear quote before we start.
What we’re called out for in Charlton
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
If you’ve bought a new home near Upper Halliford station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
