New build mastic in Pabail Uarach, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you are dealing with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can put it right.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Pabail Uarach and across Na h-Eileanan Siar.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens, food-safe where it’s needed.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
