New build mastic for homes and businesses in Fenwick
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
Around smaller Scottish places like Fenwick, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Fenwick and across East Ayrshire.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
Why act early in Fenwick
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Do you work for landlords with property near Stewarton station?

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
