About our new build mastic in East Linton
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you are dealing with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can help.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why act early in East Linton
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Old sealant always removed completely

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

Signs you need new build mastic in East Linton
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
In and around East Linton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
