About our new build mastic in Imeraval
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. We work on kitchens, windows & doors and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks appearing as a new home settles and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
Work in a place like Imeraval is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Landlord and commercial work in Imeraval
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents and landlords in Imeraval can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Imeraval may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Joints and finishes in Imeraval homes
Imeraval 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Imeraval, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Imeraval, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

FAQs for Imeraval
Can you do new build mastic in Imeraval?
Yes, Imeraval is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Imeraval?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
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. The old sealant always comes out first.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
