New build mastic in Nigg, done properly
Across Nigg, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What new build mastic looks like in Nigg
Nigg is close to 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. 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 Fearn station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Nigg, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Nigg is about 11 miles north-west of Nairn, in Highland. Across the IV19 area, our applicators can take on new build mastic. Nigg is one of 253 places in Highland we cover for new build mastic. Our Aberdeen page covers work nearby.

Will you come out to Nigg?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Nigg in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Nigg is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
What colour sealant will you use?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We will agree it with you first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Record problems with dated photos
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Follow the cure time we give you
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
What affects the quote in Nigg
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs

Why it’s worth doing now in Nigg
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Nigg depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property
