How we handle new build mastic in Scone
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you are dealing with gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and internal frame sealant that has split, we can help, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and show homes alike.
Work in a place like Scone is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.

Advice
Signs you need new build mastic in Scone
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
For new homes near Perth station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification for a quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
