Chatham Green New Build Mastic
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Chatham Green? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.

New build mastic in Chatham Green, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks. We work on plot handovers, show homes and windows & doors, and people most often call us about cracked caulk along new skirting and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
Older homes in small places like Chatham Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens, food-safe where it’s needed.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chatham Green
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Chatham Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Questions from Chatham Green
Will you come out to Chatham Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.

No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.

Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How long will you be here?

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Record problems with dated photos
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
