How we handle new build mastic in Ingliston
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We are often asked to deal with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and gaps between new skirting and floors, across bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and show homes.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What happens if it’s left?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Ingliston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ingliston
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
Signs you need new build mastic in Ingliston
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
In and around Ingliston, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
