How we handle new build mastic in Cliasmol
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on show homes, kitchens and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that never bonded to the surface and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Work in a place like Cliasmol is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the size of the job. Around Cliasmol, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

Why act early in Cliasmol
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. In a place like Cliasmol, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

How the job changes by 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.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What new build mastic looks like in Cliasmol
Cliasmol is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
Whether the job is in Cliasmol itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Cliasmol is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Jobs in Cliasmol get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Cliasmol is one of 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar we cover.
Postcode districts we cover here for new build mastic: HS3. Other places close to Cliasmol include Tarbert (7 miles south-east), Direcleit (7 miles south-east), Miabhaig (8 miles south-east), Drinisiadar (10 miles south-east) and Greosabhagh (10 miles south-east). For island and remote addresses, the job takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.

The countryside around Cliasmol includes Ben Luskentyre and Loch Scourst.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Common problems we fix in Cliasmol
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Around Cliasmol, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
