How we handle new build mastic in Rahane
Across Rahane, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you are dealing with cracks appearing as a new home settles and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help.
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.
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 we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Rahane 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 start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

New build mastic around Rahane
Rahane is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Rahane, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Rahane questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Garelochhead station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Rahane in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Rahane is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are generally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
