How we handle new build mastic in Eòlaigearraidh
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We’re often asked to deal with cracks appearing as a new home settles and internal frame sealant that has split, across plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Work in a place like Eòlaigearraidh is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- 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

Landlord and commercial work in Eòlaigearraidh
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Questions from Eòlaigearraidh
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Eòlaigearraidh?
All our work, in Eòlaigearraidh and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Eòlaigearraidh?
Yes. Eòlaigearraidh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for developers?
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.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
What new build mastic looks like in Eòlaigearraidh
Eòlaigearraidh is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
For jobs in and around Eòlaigearraidh, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Eòlaigearraidh (Gaelic: Eoligarry) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
How we quote for new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:

When to call us in Eòlaigearraidh
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Around Eòlaigearraidh, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Are they insured?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- The length of the guarantee
What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few photos and we’ll tell you. In an older home around Eòlaigearraidh, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
