New Build Mastic in Chase Cross
We cover Chase Cross for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
How we handle new build mastic in Chase Cross
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you’re dealing with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can help.
Homes around Chase Cross range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a smaller place like Chase Cross, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Record problems with dated photos
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
FAQs for Chase Cross
Do you cover smaller places like Chase Cross?

What colour sealant will you use?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Why act early in Chase Cross
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. In a smaller place like Chase Cross, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
