New Build Mastic in Elgin
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Elgin? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Common problems we fix in Elgin
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
In and around Elgin, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

New build mastic in Elgin, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are new-build shower sealant that has already split and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
Around Elgin, shops and business units have floor joints that break down under traffic. Sealing them before the edges break up saves a bigger repair.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Elgin as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Elgin
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work generally takes a few hours in a single home. In a Scottish town like Elgin, parking is normally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. If you’re in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work

Do you use white or clear sealant?

Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can, and we will quote. We’ll tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.

Why deal with it now?
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Scottish weather finds any gap, and in a town like Elgin, failed outside joints soon let damp into walls. Indoors, failed sealant lets water into floors and ceilings.
