New-build mastic & snagging in Chitty, Kent
New build mastic across Chitty and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
About our new build mastic in Chitty
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Typical jobs include skirting joints opening in the first winter and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, across bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Older homes in small places like Chitty often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Chitty and everywhere else we cover.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Chitty, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Why act early in Chitty
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Chitty, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Why book with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

New build mastic in Chitty: local notes
Chitty is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Herne Bay station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Chitty, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Chitty is about 4 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. We carry out new build mastic for homes and businesses in Chitty. Our area takes in 922 places across Kent. We also work in Chelmsford, around 41 miles away.
Work in CT3 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. We also cover the places around Chitty: Chislet (1 mile west), Hollow Street (1 mile south-west), Boyden Gate (1 mile north-west), Old Tree (1 mile west) and Highstead (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cover Canterbury (7 miles south-west), Margate (9 miles east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (9 miles east), Broadstairs (10 miles east) and Whitstable (7 miles west).

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Common questions in Chitty
Will you come out to Chitty?
Yes, Chitty is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do new build mastic in Chitty?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Chitty is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
