Landlord and commercial work in Locheport
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
New build mastic in Locheport, done properly
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. We work on windows & doors, show homes and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and cracked caulk along new skirting.
Around smaller Scottish places like Locheport, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Locheport as everywhere else we work.

Leave it or put it right?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In an older home around Locheport, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, 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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
What we are called out for in Locheport
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Whether the job is in Locheport itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Are they insured?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
