About our new build mastic in Chithurst
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We are often asked to deal with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, on windows & doors, plot handovers and kitchens.
For a small place like Chithurst, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chithurst as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
When to call us in Chithurst
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Internal frame sealant that has split
If you’ve bought a new home near Liphook station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Chithurst, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chithurst is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What do you put in the joint?
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.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish. We will plan around viewing times.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
