About our new build mastic in Auchinloch
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have internal frame sealant that has split and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can help, on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

New build mastic in Auchinloch: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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.
Around Auchinloch, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.

Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home.

- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive

- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
