New-build mastic & snagging in Ardchonnell, Argyll and Bute
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for homes and businesses in Ardchonnell and across Argyll and Bute. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Ardchonnell may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Ardchonnell
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, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and internal frame sealant that has split.
For a place like Ardchonnell, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Do you need new build mastic in Ardchonnell?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Whether the job is in Ardchonnell itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Fully insured

Common questions in Ardchonnell
Is new build mastic in Ardchonnell guaranteed?
All our work, in Ardchonnell and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Ardchonnell?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What affects the quote in Ardchonnell
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Joints and finishes in Ardchonnell homes
Ardchonnell is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
