New build mastic in Martin, done properly
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Martin. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking shower tray seals in a new home and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall.
Work in a small place like Martin just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Martin needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Martin: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Martin?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Martin is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Joints and finishes in Martin homes
Martin is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. 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.
For new homes near Martin Mill station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Martin, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
