New build mastic in Eaglesfield
Across Eaglesfield, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you are dealing with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can help, on show homes, kitchens and windows & doors alike.
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.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.

What we’re called out for in Eaglesfield

- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
For jobs in and around Eaglesfield, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What happens if it’s left?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
