About our new build mastic in Chigwell
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can put it right, on plot handovers, show homes and windows & doors alike.
In and around Chigwell, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chigwell
Landlords and agents in Chigwell can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Record problems with dated photos
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
How the job changes by 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
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a job in Chigwell, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Why it’s worth doing now in Chigwell
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. Homes in smaller places like Chigwell can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What we’re called out for in Chigwell
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
If you’ve bought a new home near Chingford station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
