How we handle new build mastic in Kinlochleven
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. Typical jobs include second-fix sealing on new plots and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Around smaller Scottish places like Kinlochleven, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Quotes for new build mastic in Kinlochleven
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
Why deal with it now?
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

What else we do in Kinlochleven
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots for a typical job. Outside jobs in Kinlochleven 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.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Your questions about new build mastic in Kinlochleven
Is Kinlochleven in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kinlochleven is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Kinlochleven?
Yes. Kinlochleven is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before we start.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Signs you need new build mastic in Kinlochleven
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Whether the job is in Kinlochleven itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Joints and finishes in Kinlochleven homes
Kinlochleven is within about 2 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. 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.
Around Kinlochleven, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the job changes by surface
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification. Sealant work across the plot is covered.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
