About our new build mastic in Barony and Castle of Corsehill
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you are dealing with sealant that never bonded to the surface and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Do you need new build mastic in Barony and Castle of Corsehill?
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
If you’ve bought a new home near Stewarton station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Is Barony and Castle of Corsehill in your area for new build mastic?

Is Barony and Castle of Corsehill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send it with photos and we’ll quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish.
How long does new build mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Around Barony and Castle of Corsehill, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.

Why act early in Barony and Castle of Corsehill
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. In an older home around Barony and Castle of Corsehill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
