About our new build mastic in Chenies
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation. We’re often asked to deal with worktop and upstand sealant coming away and second-fix sealing on new plots, across kitchens, show homes and plot handovers.
Somewhere as small as Chenies, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Joints and finishes in Chenies homes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Chenies, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Common questions in Chenies
I let a flat near Chalfont & Latimer station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Chenies for new build mastic?
Yes, Chenies is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Chenies.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
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.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
Do you need new build mastic in Chenies?
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Around Chenies, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
