How we handle new build mastic in Little Chart Forstal
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you’re dealing with new-build shower sealant that has already split and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can put it right, on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and kitchens alike.
Work in a small place like Little Chart Forstal just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Leave it or put it right?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few photos and we will give you a straight answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Chart Forstal, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Little Chart Forstal, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Record problems with dated pictures
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
DIY versus a professional finish
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we are called out for in Little Chart Forstal
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For new homes near Charing station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
