Specialist new build mastic for Lochhill: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Lochhill
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly. If you’re dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can put it right, on windows & doors, skirting & floors and plot handovers alike.
Work in a place like Lochhill is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Moray.

Questions from Lochhill
Do you cover Lochhill for new build mastic?
Yes, Lochhill is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Lochhill?
Yes, Lochhill is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What does new build mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
New homes and floors in Lochhill
Lochhill is within about 2 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Lochhill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors

Signs you need new build mastic in Lochhill
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
If you’ve bought a new home near Elgin station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
