Why deal with it now?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. Around Chestnut Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

About our new build mastic in Chestnut Street
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 since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. Typical jobs include gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and sealant work across a run of new homes, on skirting & floors, kitchens and windows & doors.
For a small place like Chestnut Street, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Chestnut Street: your questions answered
Is Chestnut Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Newington station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
New build mastic around Chestnut Street
Chestnut Street is within about 3 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Newington station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Chestnut Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
