Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Claddach Kyles
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include frame joints opening as the plaster dries and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, across plot handovers, kitchens and skirting & floors.
Work in a place like Claddach Kyles is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Signs you need new build mastic in Claddach Kyles
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
For jobs in and around Claddach Kyles, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

FAQs for Claddach Kyles
Is Claddach Kyles within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is new build mastic in Claddach Kyles guaranteed?
All our work, in Claddach Kyles and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How much does new build mastic cost in Claddach Kyles?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before work begins.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens if it’s left?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

New homes and floors in Claddach Kyles
Claddach Kyles is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
