New build mastic in Chipstead
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop and upstand sealant coming away and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Chipstead, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chipstead
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chipstead can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Questions from Chipstead
Will you come out to Chipstead?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dunton Green station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Chipstead needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

When to call us in Chipstead
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
If you’ve bought a new home near Dunton Green station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
