What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

How we handle new build mastic in Drumnadrochit
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Drumnadrochit 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.

Common questions in Drumnadrochit
Do you cover smaller places like Drumnadrochit?
Yes, Drumnadrochit is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Drumnadrochit for new build mastic?
Yes, Drumnadrochit is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
New homes and floors in Drumnadrochit
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Drumnadrochit, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Quotes for new build mastic in Drumnadrochit
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
What we are called out for in Drumnadrochit
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry first.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Whether the job is in Drumnadrochit itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Are they insured?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether you can choose the colour

Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In an older home around Drumnadrochit, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
