New build mastic in Cameron Toll, done properly
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. We are often asked to deal with internal frame sealant that has split and cracks appearing as a new home settles, across kitchens, windows & doors and show homes.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. In Cameron Toll, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
