About our new build mastic in Melvich
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have leaking shower tray seals in a new home and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Melvich is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why it’s worth doing now in Melvich
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Melvich, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

New build mastic around Melvich
Melvich 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Melvich, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Whether the job is in Melvich itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Melvich (Gaelic: Meabhaich) is about 15 miles west of Thurso, in Highland. Jobs in Melvich get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 253 places across Highland.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Record problems with dated photos
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
Your questions about new build mastic in Melvich
Do you cover smaller places like Melvich?
Yes, we do. 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 guarantee comes with new build mastic in Melvich?
All our work, in Melvich and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
