About our new build mastic in Newmarket
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We are often asked to deal with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and gaps between new skirting and floors, across windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. For a place like Newmarket, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What we are called out for in Newmarket
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Around Newmarket, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Newmarket
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 Newmarket, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Over 20 years’ experience

New build mastic in Newmarket: local notes
Newmarket is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. 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 Newmarket, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
