New build mastic in Cambusbarron
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. We are often asked to deal with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, across windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Cambusbarron depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

New build mastic around Cambusbarron

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Why act early in Cambusbarron
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

Cambusbarron questions

Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
