About our new build mastic in Newbigging
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. Common call-outs are for internal frame sealant that has split and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, on kitchens, windows & doors and plot handovers.
Around smaller Scottish places like Newbigging, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Newbigging depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.

Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification and we’ll quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.
Signs you need new build mastic in Newbigging
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
If you’ve bought a new home near Monifieth station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Why it’s worth doing now in Newbigging
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

New build mastic around Newbigging
Newbigging is close to 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.
Around Newbigging, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Around Newbigging
Newbigging’s nearest station is Monifieth station, about 2.5 miles south of the centre. A little further out are Ardestie Castle (1.7 miles south) and Ashludie Hospital (1.9 miles south).
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
