How we handle new build mastic in Hogaland
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and plot handovers, and people most often call us about sealant that never bonded to the surface and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hogaland
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
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.
New build mastic around Hogaland
Hogaland is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, 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.
Whether the job is in Hogaland itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Hogaland is in the Shetland Islands. Across the ZE2 area, we cover new build mastic for homes and businesses. Hogaland is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands where we work.

How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hogaland
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures and we will give you a straight answer. In a place like Hogaland, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
- 12-month guarantee on every job

Will you come out to Hogaland?
Yes, Hogaland is covered. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Can I send you my snagging list?

Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We will tell you when we quote.
What we’re called out for in Hogaland
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Internal frame sealant that has split
Around Hogaland, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether VAT is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
