New build mastic in Marley, done properly
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant around new window and door frames and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
Older homes in small places like Marley often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours in a single home in most cases. Somewhere as small as Marley, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In a small place like Marley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.

- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
In and around Marley, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
