Inverinate New Build Mastic
New-build sealant joints in Inverinate need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and the area is left clean. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

New build mastic in Inverinate
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you have new-build shower sealant that has already split and internal frame sealant that has split, we can put it right.
For a place like Inverinate, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Questions from Inverinate
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Inverinate?
All our work, in Inverinate and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Inverinate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
How long does new build mastic take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What new build mastic looks like in Inverinate
Inverinate is within about 1 mile of 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.
For jobs in and around Inverinate, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Common problems we fix in Inverinate
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Around Inverinate, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
