New build mastic in Binniehill, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. If you have internal frame sealant that has split and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Binniehill, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Record problems with dated photos
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish. Outside jobs in Binniehill need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a place like Binniehill, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
