New build mastic for homes and businesses in Evanton
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that is what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. We work on show homes, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about cracked sealant around new window and door frames and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
Work in a place like Evanton 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, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outside jobs in Evanton need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Common questions in Evanton
I let a flat near Alness station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Evanton for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Evanton is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
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.
How much does new build mastic cost in Evanton?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Evanton
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
New build mastic in Evanton: local notes
Evanton is within about 2 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Evanton is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
Around Evanton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Signs you need new build mastic in Evanton
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
If you’ve bought a new home near Alness station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Asking for a quote

- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
