New build mastic in Low Torry, done properly
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. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Low Torry: your questions answered
Is new build mastic in Low Torry guaranteed?
All our work, in Low Torry and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Low Torry within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will tell you when we quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you need new build mastic in Low Torry?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
In and around Low Torry, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What preparation is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which colour the sealant will be
What new build mastic looks like in Low Torry
Low Torry is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For jobs in and around Low Torry, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a place like Low Torry, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification for a quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
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. 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.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Tidy, careful work
