New build mastic in Dedridge, done properly
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on kitchens, show homes and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about worktop and upstand sealant coming away and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
Around smaller Scottish places like Dedridge, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dedridge
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. 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.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
