About our new build mastic in Duror
Across Duror, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on show homes, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are new-build shower sealant that has already split and cracked caulk along new skirting.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

New build mastic around Duror
Duror is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For jobs in and around Duror, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Duror, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Around Duror, 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 go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Common questions in Duror
Is new build mastic in Duror guaranteed?
All our work, in Duror and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Duror?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What does new build mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Landlord and commercial work in Duror
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Duror and across Argyll and Bute. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
The builder is usually 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. In an older home around Duror, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
