New-build mastic & snagging in Kinlochbervie, Highland
Our applicators work in Kinlochbervie on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Cracking that points to a structural problem

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Kinlochbervie
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.
For a place like Kinlochbervie, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Kinlochbervie, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.

New homes and floors in Kinlochbervie
Kinlochbervie is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Kinlochbervie itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What affects the quote in Kinlochbervie
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kinlochbervie
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.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Questions from Kinlochbervie
Is Kinlochbervie within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Kinlochbervie?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
