About our new build mastic in Ashton
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are second-fix sealing on new plots and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. 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 will sort it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
How we quote for new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
New build mastic around Ashton
Ashton is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
In and around Ashton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When to call us in Ashton
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For new homes near Gourock station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Surfaces we seal
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
