New build mastic in Muir of Ord, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. If you have shower seals failing in the first year or two and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can help.
Around smaller Scottish places like Muir of Ord, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.

When to call us in Muir of Ord
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
In and around Muir of Ord, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why act early in Muir of Ord
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer. 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

New homes and floors in Muir of Ord
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
For new homes near Muir of Ord station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Muir of Ord need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
