New build mastic in Inverarity, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on show homes, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
Around smaller Scottish places like Inverarity, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Landlord and commercial work in Inverarity
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Inverarity and across Angus. We can quote a run of properties together.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Inverarity may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Inverarity questions
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Inverarity?
All our work, in Inverarity and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Inverarity within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before we start.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Why act early in Inverarity
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Around Inverarity, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why Inverarity clients choose us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Fully insured

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What new build mastic looks like in Inverarity
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For jobs in and around Inverarity, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Inverarity, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
