Your questions about new build mastic in Hilton
Will you come out to Hilton?
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.
Do you cover Hilton for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Hilton is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can, and we’ll quote. We’ll tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
New build mastic in Hilton
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. 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 smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Hilton, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Hilton and across Highland.

How the job changes by surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Do you need new build mastic in Hilton?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
Around Hilton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the colour is chosen
What affects the quote in Hilton
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home from start to finish. Somewhere like Hilton may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

New homes and floors in Hilton
Hilton is close to 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you’ve bought a new home near Inverness station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
