New build mastic in Inverinan
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. Typical jobs include plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

Questions from Inverinan
Do you cover smaller places like Inverinan?
Yes, Inverinan is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do new build mastic in Inverinan?
Yes, Inverinan is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items, and we’ll quote. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Landlord and commercial work in Inverinan
Landlords and letting agents in Inverinan can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. Outside jobs in Inverinan need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What we are called out for in Inverinan
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For jobs in and around Inverinan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- The length of the guarantee
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why Inverinan clients choose us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Tidy, careful work
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.

New homes and floors in Inverinan
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
