New build mastic in Chilton, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. If you’re dealing with new-build shower sealant that has already split and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Chilton, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. A visit to Chilton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

Advice
How we quote for new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

New build mastic around Chilton
Chilton is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. 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, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

FAQs for Chilton
Will you come out to Chilton?
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.
Can you do new build mastic in Chilton?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chilton is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. In an older home around Chilton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
