New build mastic in Dundee: how it works

Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on plot handovers, skirting & floors and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that never bonded to the surface and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

  1. We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
  2. Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
  3. We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
  4. We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
  5. We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

What affects the price in Dundee

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Where we work in Dundee

Our new build mastic work across Dundee covers developers, homeowners and businesses, from Broughty Ferry, Stobswell and Monifieth to the quieter places in between. The common thread is movement: every joint has to allow for it.

Our work covers the whole of Scotland, Dundee included. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather. Along the coast in Dundee, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.

Dundee: If you’ve bought a new home near Dundee station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. Around Dundee, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can I do it myself?

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.

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Dundee, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.

How the job changes by surface

Show homes

We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.

Plot handovers

Send us the schedule and any sealant specification and we will quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors.

What sealant work can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • Plumbing faults behind the sealant

What happens if it’s left?

For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • Whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What insurance they hold

Your questions about new build mastic in Dundee

Can I send you my snagging list?

Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.

Do you come to Dundee?

Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Dundee included.

What colour sealant will you use?

Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish.

Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?

No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.

What sealant do you use?

The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

Should I try DIY first?

You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Will you leave a mess?

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
