New build mastic in Airlie
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We are often asked to deal with gaps behind new kitchen upstands and sealant work across a run of new homes, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on how much there is to do. Around Airlie, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas 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 does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What new build mastic looks like in Airlie
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For jobs in and around Airlie, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Airlie, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
