Do you need new build mastic in Chorleywood?
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
If you’ve bought a new home near Chorleywood station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

New build mastic in Chorleywood
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include skirting joints opening in the first winter and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and skirting & floors.
In smaller places like Chorleywood, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why act early in Chorleywood
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. In a smaller place like Chorleywood, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Common questions in Chorleywood
Can you do new build mastic in Chorleywood?
Yes, Chorleywood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Chorleywood station?

Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we’ll quote for the sealant items. If something is not sealant, we’ll say so.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on how much there is to do. Parking around Chorleywood is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Record problems with dated photos
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
