How new build mastic works in Moray
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.

Landmarks near Elgin
Around Elgin, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Muckle Cross pub, Cooper Park and St Columba's Church of Scotland, among other places. Elgin has its own railway station: Elgin station. Nearby you will also find Dr Gray's Hospital (0.6 miles west) and St Giles Centre (under half a mile north-west). For a walk, there’s Loch Spynie.
Where we work in Moray
In Moray, new build mastic work takes in new homes, older houses and commercial units, in Elgin, Buckie and Forres and well beyond. Every joint needs to allow for movement.
Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across Moray. Along the coast in Moray, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Elgin: In and around Elgin, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Elgin station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
How we quote for new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Common problems we fix in Moray
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is VAT in the price?
- How much experience the applicator has
- What guarantee comes with the work
Moray: your questions answered
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme, room by room. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
How long does new build mastic take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
