How we handle new build mastic in Sauchieburn
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. Typical jobs include gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, across windows & doors, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Around smaller Scottish places like Sauchieburn, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Joints and finishes in Sauchieburn homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Sauchieburn, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For new homes near Laurencekirk station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
What happens if it’s left?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We never seal over old sealant
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We agree the colour with you first

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Sauchieburn may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
