Ardersier questions
I let a flat near Inverness Airport station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Ardersier for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Ardersier is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
New build mastic in Ardersier, done properly
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help.
For a place like Ardersier, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Ardersier and everywhere else we cover.

Leave it or put it right?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In an older home around Ardersier, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
Common problems we fix in Ardersier
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
For new homes near Inverness Airport station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- The length of the guarantee
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Ardersier may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Advice
New homes and floors in Ardersier
Ardersier is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Ardersier 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.
Around Ardersier, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Ardersier is about 6 miles west of Nairn, in Highland. Anywhere in IV2, we cover new build mastic for homes and businesses. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, Ardersier among them. You can also see our page for Aberdeen, about 77 miles away.
Jobs for new build mastic in IV2 works the same way as everywhere else we cover.

We also cover the places around Ardersier: Croy (3 miles south), Rosemarkie (3 miles north-west), Fortrose (4 miles west), Avoch (5 miles west) and Cawdor (5 miles east).

Local landmarks in Ardersier

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
