New build mastic in Drumlemble
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. We work on plot handovers, show homes and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about leaking shower tray seals in a new home and internal frame sealant that has split.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
New build mastic in Drumlemble: local notes
Drumlemble is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For jobs in and around Drumlemble, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Questions from Drumlemble
Is Drumlemble within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Drumlemble?
All our work, in Drumlemble and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it isn’t resolved, we will cut it out and reseal it.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Drumlemble?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
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 behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.

Signs you need new build mastic in Drumlemble
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
Around Drumlemble, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Drumlemble depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
