How we handle new build mastic in Kincraig
Across Kincraig, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Typical jobs include kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, across kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Advice
Places near Kincraig
Also in Kincraig
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day before water reaches them.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Signs you need new build mastic in Kincraig
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around Kincraig, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
