Marden New Build Mastic
New build mastic across Marden and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
How we handle new build mastic in Marden
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you are dealing with smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, we can help, whatever the surface.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Marden, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Common problems we fix in Marden
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around Marden, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

FAQs for Marden
Is Marden in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Marden is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Marden within the area you cover?
Yes, Marden is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we are happy to quote with our 12-month guarantee.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are usually two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
