New build mastic in Sgiogarstaigh, done properly
Across Sgiogarstaigh, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you’re dealing with sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right, on kitchens, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Common questions in Sgiogarstaigh
Is new build mastic in Sgiogarstaigh guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Sgiogarstaigh in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Sgiogarstaigh is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- We’re fully insured

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Quotes for new build mastic in Sgiogarstaigh
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Sgiogarstaigh depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
