Chiddingly questions
Is Chiddingly within the area you cover?
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 you work for landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How much does new build mastic cost in Chiddingly?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
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.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
How we handle new build mastic in Chiddingly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and shower seals failing in the first year or two.
Around Chiddingly, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Show homes
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chiddingly
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chiddingly, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
