Landlord and commercial work in Manor Powis
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
New build mastic in Manor Powis, done properly
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We are often asked to deal with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, across show homes, plot handovers and kitchens.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Manor Powis may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access

How we quote for new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Why deal with it now?
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. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Fully insured
