About our new build mastic in Gauldry
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Gauldry. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on plot handovers, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Around smaller Scottish places like Gauldry, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray

Why it’s worth doing now in Gauldry
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Gauldry, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
