DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
New build mastic in Hillyland
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you are dealing with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Hillyland, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What else we do in Hillyland
Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In an older home around Hillyland, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Advice
Do you need new build mastic in Hillyland?
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
For new homes near Perth station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before you book anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether you can choose the colour
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
What new build mastic looks like in Hillyland
