When to call us in Chilgrove
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Whether the job is in Chilgrove itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee
How we handle new build mastic in Chilgrove
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are cracks appearing as a new home settles and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
Around Chilgrove, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Chilgrove and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Record problems with dated photos
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification and we’ll quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Chilgrove, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

- Over 20 years’ experience
- Full insurance on every job

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Chilgrove, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
