How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
How we handle new build mastic in Nether Dallachy
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you’re dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, we can help, whatever the surface.
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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What affects the quote in Nether Dallachy
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed

Do you need new build mastic in Nether Dallachy?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Around Nether Dallachy, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- What insurance they hold
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. 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.
What new build mastic looks like in Nether Dallachy
Nether Dallachy is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For jobs in and around Nether Dallachy, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
