Scotland Street New Build Mastic
New-build sealant joints in Scotland Street need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
- Skirting & floors
How we handle new build mastic in Scotland Street
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. We’re often asked to deal with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and gaps between new skirting and floors, on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and windows & doors.
Older homes in small places like Scotland Street often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Scotland Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Common questions in Scotland Street
Is new build mastic in Scotland Street guaranteed?
All our work, in Scotland Street and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Scotland Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
New build mastic around Scotland Street

Signs you need new build mastic in Scotland Street
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Around Scotland Street, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
