- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

New build mastic in Ardgay
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include skirting joints opening in the first winter and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, on kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Joints and finishes in Ardgay homes
Ardgay 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. Ardgay 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.
Around Ardgay, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ardgay
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Around Ardgay, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We agree the colour with you first
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Do you need new build mastic in Ardgay?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Look out for these signs:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Internal frame sealant that has split
For new homes near Ardgay station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
