New build mastic for homes and businesses in Boghead
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation, because that is what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and windows & doors alike.
For a place like Boghead, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outside jobs in Boghead need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- 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.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
Whether the job is in Boghead itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Your questions about new build mastic in Boghead
Do you cover smaller places like Boghead?
Yes, Boghead is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Boghead?
All our work, in Boghead and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What colour sealant will you use?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Why it’s worth doing now in Boghead
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. In an older home around Boghead, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Skirting and floors
