New build mastic in Inverarish

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. If you’re dealing with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, we can put it right.

New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

When something else is needed

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
  • Damaged fittings that need replacing

Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about new build mastic in Inverarish

Is new build mastic in Inverarish guaranteed?

All our work, in Inverarish and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.

Do you cover smaller places like Inverarish?

Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.

Is there any odour?

Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

Are you insured?

Yes. We are fully insured.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.

Does someone need to be in?

We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

Where are you based?

We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Why deal with it now?

Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Why us?

  • Domestic, commercial and hotel work
  • Colour picked to suit the job
  • We leave the area clean and tidy
  • Every job guaranteed for a year

New homes and floors in Inverarish

Inverarish is close to 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.

Around Inverarish, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Inverarish is in Highland. Whether you are in the middle of Inverarish or further out, we cover new build mastic for every kind of property. Inverarish is one of 253 places in Highland where we work.

Can I do it myself?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Do you need new build mastic in Inverarish?

Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Cracks appearing as a new home settles
  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Shower seals failing in the first year or two
  • Gaps between new skirting and floors

Whether the job is in Inverarish itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How the job changes by surface

Bathrooms and en suites

En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.

Show homes

We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.

How the visit works

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. Around Inverarish, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.

  1. We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
  2. Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
  3. Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Mention any tricky access
