New build mastic for homes and businesses in Lochinver
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. If you have frame joints opening as the plaster dries and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can help.
For a place like Lochinver, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Do you need new build mastic in Lochinver?
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
In and around Lochinver, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about new build mastic in Lochinver
Can you do new build mastic in Lochinver?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Lochinver is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Lochinver?
All our work, in Lochinver and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we can reseal it properly.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Full insurance on every job
- More than 20 years in sealant work

What new build mastic looks like in Lochinver
Lochinver is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
For jobs in and around Lochinver, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
