How we handle new build mastic in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and shower seals failing in the first year or two, on plot handovers, windows & doors and kitchens.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Questions from Bràigh na h-Aoidhe
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Bràigh na h-Aoidhe for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Bràigh na h-Aoidhe 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.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
