How we handle new build mastic in Inverlochy
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Common call-outs are for plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and plot handovers.
Work in a place like Inverlochy is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Inverlochy depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
