About new build mastic in Highland

Across Highland, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Typical jobs include leaking shower tray seals in a new home and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, on kitchens, skirting & floors and plot handovers.

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the size of the job.

Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
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.

Pricing in Highland

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

New homes and floors across Highland

Our new build mastic work across Highland covers developers, homeowners and businesses, in Inverness, Nairn and Thurso and well beyond. The common thread is movement: every joint has to allow for it.

Homes in Scotland come with their own details: harled walls, sash and case windows and, in the larger towns and cities, tenements. Highland is part of the area we cover across Scotland. Highland includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.

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

Why deal with it now?

The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly.

Why it fails

Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.

Common reasons people contact us include:

Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Sealant work across a run of new homes
Frame joints opening as the plaster dries

Landlords, agents and businesses in Highland

Letting agents and landlords in Highland can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Follow the cure time we give you
Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles

Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.

Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

Highland: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

What colour sealant will you use?

That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before we start.

Can landlords and businesses book you?

Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.

Where do you work from?

We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?

Lots of new homes see sealant crack early as timber and plaster dry out. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.

Is it messy?

Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
