How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
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 in a busy bathroom.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few pictures. In a small place like Chiddingstone Hoath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

What new build mastic looks like in Chiddingstone Hoath
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Chiddingstone Hoath, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Cowden station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Chiddingstone Hoath, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.

Advice
Chiddingstone Hoath: your questions answered
Do you cover Chiddingstone Hoath for new build mastic?
Yes, Chiddingstone Hoath is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cowden station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
