New-build mastic & snagging in Lionel, Na h-Eileanan Siar
New build mastic across Lionel and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. Around Lionel, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

How we handle new build mastic in Lionel
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. We are often asked to deal with cracked sealant around new window and door frames and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and show homes.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What affects the quote in Lionel
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

What else we do in Lionel
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outdoor work around Lionel depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
