New build mastic in Hatton, done properly
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 kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right.
For a place like Hatton, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Around Hatton, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
How to get a quote

Common problems we fix in Hatton
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For jobs in and around Hatton, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Questions from Hatton
Do you cover smaller places like Hatton?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Hatton?
All our work, in Hatton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are usually two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Joints and finishes in Hatton homes
Hatton is within about 3 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Hatton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
