FAQs for East Saltoun
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in East Saltoun?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to East Saltoun?
Yes. East Saltoun is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Should I wait before resealing?
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.
New build mastic in East Saltoun, done properly
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots for a typical job.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
For anyone letting property in or around East Saltoun, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Why act early in East Saltoun
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- You choose the colour before work begins
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- We never seal over old sealant
