New build mastic for homes and businesses in Chilworth
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. If you are dealing with gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, we can put it right, on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and kitchens alike.
In a village or hamlet like Chilworth, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Chilworth: your questions answered
Is Chilworth in your area for new build mastic?

Will you come out to Chilworth?
Yes, Chilworth is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule, room by room. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.

Yes. Send it with pictures and we’ll quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.

Should I try it myself 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Signs you need new build mastic in Chilworth
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
If you’ve bought a new home near Chilworth station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
