Auchterarder New Build Mastic
New build mastic across Auchterarder and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Auchterarder
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, we can help.
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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Auchterarder as everywhere else we work.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours in a single home. Outdoor work around Auchterarder depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
