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.

- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
How we quote for new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy

For landlords and businesses
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.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
