About our new build mastic in Fortrose
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 using the right product for each joint. If you have gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can help.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Fortrose depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, 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.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What new build mastic looks like in Fortrose
Fortrose 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you’ve bought a new home near Inverness Airport station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. Around Fortrose, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Why act early in Fortrose
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. 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.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Will you come out to Fortrose?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.

Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme, room by room. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we’ll quote.
How much does new build mastic cost in Fortrose?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
