New build mastic for homes and businesses in Arisaig
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you are dealing with sealant work across a run of new homes and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

New build mastic around Arisaig
Arisaig is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Arisaig 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 Arisaig, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Surface by surface
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification for a quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered as agreed.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Arisaig questions

Do you cover smaller places like Arisaig?

Yes, we are fully insured.

Other services in Arisaig
Do you need new build mastic in Arisaig?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
For new homes near Arisaig station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
