- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
New build mastic in Longriggend
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have new-build shower sealant that has already split and internal frame sealant that has split, we can help, on skirting & floors, plot handovers and kitchens alike.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.
