New build mastic in Na h-Eileanan Siar: how it works

Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. Common call-outs are for second-fix sealing on new plots and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, on kitchens, show homes and skirting & floors.

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job.

First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

What you’ll pay

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. Your quote takes all of that into account.

New homes and floors across Na h-Eileanan Siar

Across Na h-Eileanan Siar, from Stornoway, Tarbert and Plasterfield outwards, new homes go up alongside older streets. New homes need their sealant and floor joints finished properly, and older ones need them renewing.

The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across Na h-Eileanan Siar. Along the coast in Na h-Eileanan Siar, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, which is hard on sealant and grout, and the weather is hard on the outside too.

Stornoway: For jobs in and around Stornoway, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Stornoway, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common problems we fix in Na h-Eileanan Siar

Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

New-build shower sealant that has already split
Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Sealant work across a run of new homes
Skirting joints opening in the first winter

What sealant work cannot fix

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Damaged fittings that need replacing

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Aftercare is simple:

Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year

Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.

The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.

FAQs for Na h-Eileanan Siar

Can you do plot mastic on a new development?

Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you work from my snagging list?

Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We agree the sealant items with you before we start.

Is it messy?

No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Should I go to my builder first?

Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we can reseal it properly.
