Advice
New build mastic in Sandhaven, done properly
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. If you have cracked sealant around new window and door frames and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can help.
Work in a place like Sandhaven is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What happens if it’s left?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Tidy, careful work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Record problems with dated pictures
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.

Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Joints and finishes in Sandhaven homes
Sandhaven is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, 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.
For jobs in and around Sandhaven, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Sandhaven, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
