About our new build mastic in Insch
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. We’re often asked to deal with second-fix sealing on new plots and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, on show homes, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
Work in a place like Insch is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty

Quotes for new build mastic in Insch
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job

Landlord and commercial work in Insch
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.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Record problems with dated photos
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
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.
Joints and finishes in Insch homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you’ve bought a new home near Insch station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
