New build mastic in Bridge of Orchy, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. Typical jobs include untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, on plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
Work in a place like Bridge of Orchy is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.

New homes and floors in Bridge of Orchy

In and around Bridge of Orchy, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Bridge of Orchy station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outside jobs in Bridge of Orchy need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Surface by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
