What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Chawton, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit

New build mastic in Chawton, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include gaps between new skirting and floors and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and kitchens.
For a small place like Chawton, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

New build mastic in Chawton: local notes

What else we do in Chawton
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Your questions about new build mastic in Chawton
Do you cover smaller places like Chawton?
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.
Can you do new build mastic in Chawton?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Chawton is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We’ll agree it with you first.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Hampshire.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chawton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
