New build mastic for homes and businesses in Chilton
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include gaps between new skirting and floors and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, on skirting & floors, show homes and kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Chilton, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common problems we fix in Chilton
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
For new homes near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Other services in Chilton
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chilton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
