About our new build mastic in Cock Marling
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you have messy sealant that spoils new finishes and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Cock Marling, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Leave it or put it right?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a small place like Cock Marling, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
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.
Signs you need new build mastic in Cock Marling

Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.

Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Cock Marling, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
