Norseman: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Norseman?
Yes. Norseman is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Norseman?
All our work, in Norseman and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
New build mastic in Norseman
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on show homes, windows & doors and plot handovers, and people most often call us about cracked caulk along new skirting and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Around smaller Scottish places like Norseman, 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 covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing to keep callbacks down.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
New build mastic in Norseman: local notes
Norseman 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Norseman itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Norseman, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Norseman is about 7 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Norseman is covered for new build mastic, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Across the Orkney Islands, we cover 51 places, and Norseman is one of them.
Work in KW17 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. We also cover the places around Norseman: Isbister (1 mile east), Settiscarth (1 mile west), Gorseness (2 miles north-east), Tingwall (3 miles north-east) and Finstown (3 miles south). For island and remote addresses, the job takes a little more planning.
What’s near Norseman
A little further out are Corrigall Farm Museum (3.4 miles west) and Langskaill House (4.1 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Ward of Redland and Loch of Brockan.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
Landlord and commercial work in Norseman
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. Somewhere like Norseman may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
