How we handle new build mastic in Upper Chute
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly. Common call-outs are for new-build shower sealant that has already split and cracks appearing as a new home settles, across bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and plot handovers.
Older homes in small places like Upper Chute often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.

Common problems we fix in Upper Chute
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Whether the job is in Upper Chute itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement
Upper Chute: your questions answered
Is Upper Chute in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Upper Chute is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Upper Chute?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule ready for handover. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Upper Chute, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
How we quote for new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
