About our new build mastic in Lochawe
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right.
Work in a place like Lochawe is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lochawe as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Follow the cure time we give you
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
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 and the new finishes intact.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. In a place like Lochawe, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- 12-month guarantee on every job

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Landlord and commercial work in Lochawe
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Advice
New build mastic around Lochawe
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Lochawe is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
