About our new build mastic in Marley
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference. Common call-outs are for cracked caulk along new skirting and shower seals failing in the first year or two, across plot handovers, show homes and windows & doors.
Work in a small place like Marley just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

New build mastic in Marley: local notes
Marley is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Marley, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Marley, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Landlord and commercial work in Marley
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
When to call us in Marley
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Internal frame sealant that has split
For new homes near Sandwich station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
