New build mastic for homes and businesses in Achiltibuie
Across Achiltibuie, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you’re dealing with plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right.
For a place like Achiltibuie, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What new build mastic looks like in Achiltibuie
Achiltibuie is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Achiltibuie is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
For jobs in and around Achiltibuie, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Achiltibuie, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification and we’ll quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.

Leave it or put it right?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
