New build mastic in Balloch, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you are dealing with cracks appearing as a new home settles and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can help, on windows & doors, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface

A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
New build mastic in Balloch: local notes
Balloch is within about 2 miles of 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you’ve bought a new home near Inverness Airport station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Balloch, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Balloch questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Inverness Airport station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Balloch within the area you cover?
Yes. Balloch is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What does new build mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Why deal with it now?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few photos and we will tell you. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Full insurance on every job
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
