New build mastic in Ballifeary, done properly
Across Ballifeary, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Typical jobs include gaps behind new kitchen upstands and new-build shower sealant that has already split, across plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, 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 around Ballifeary
Ballifeary is within about 2 miles 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Inverness station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Ballifeary: your questions answered
Will you come out to Ballifeary?
Yes, Ballifeary is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Ballifeary in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Ballifeary is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What we are called out for in Ballifeary
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
In and around Ballifeary, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home. Around Ballifeary, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Why deal with it now?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a place like Ballifeary, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
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.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Landlord and commercial work in Ballifeary
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
