About our new build mastic in Chilton Green
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. Typical jobs include kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and cracked caulk along new skirting, on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes.
Older homes in small places like Chilton Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with

New homes and floors in Chilton Green
Chilton Green is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Chilton Green, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Chilton Green, 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 we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
When to call us in Chilton Green
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
For jobs in and around Chilton Green, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
What affects the quote in Chilton Green
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Chilton Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Chilton Green?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Chilton Green?
All our work, in Chilton Green and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.

Leave it or put it right?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos and we will give you a straight answer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chilton Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
