Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. Common call-outs are for untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and kitchens.
Work in a small place like Chipperfield just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Record problems with dated photos
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Chipperfield needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
What we are called out for in Chipperfield
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
In and around Chipperfield, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chipperfield
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chipperfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
