New build mastic in Dunbeg, done properly
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have frame joints opening as the plaster dries and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What new build mastic looks like in Dunbeg
Dunbeg 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. 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.
For new homes near Connel Ferry station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Dunbeg is in Argyll and Bute. Dunbeg gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 118 places across Argyll and Bute. You can also see our page for Glasgow, roughly 61 miles from Dunbeg.

Why deal with it now?
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. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Dunbeg, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Where do you work from?

Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
What colour sealant will you use?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When to call us in Dunbeg
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
In and around Dunbeg, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outside jobs in Dunbeg need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
