New Build Mastic in Balemartine
Our applicators work in Balemartine on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
New build mastic in Balemartine
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
For a place like Balemartine, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Balemartine as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need new build mastic in Balemartine
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Whether the job is in Balemartine itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. Around Balemartine, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- 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.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- We never seal over old sealant
- You choose the colour before work begins
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

FAQs for Balemartine
Is Balemartine in your area for new build mastic?

Is new build mastic in Balemartine guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we’ll quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Should I wait before resealing?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What does new build mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
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 in a colour to suit.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Joints and finishes in Balemartine homes
Balemartine is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
Around Balemartine, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
