New build mastic in Levenwick, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and people most often call us about messy sealant that spoils new finishes and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Shetland Islands.

Why deal with it now?
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
New build mastic around Levenwick
Levenwick 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
For jobs in and around Levenwick, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Levenwick, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much there is to do

- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
