New build mastic in Chilworth Old Village
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
Work in a small place like Chilworth Old Village just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Chilworth Old Village, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Your questions about new build mastic in Chilworth Old Village
Will you come out to Chilworth Old Village?
Yes. Chilworth Old Village is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do new build mastic in Chilworth Old Village?
Yes, Chilworth Old Village is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chilworth Old Village, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on 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 affects the cost of new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
