New build mastic in Staxigoe
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop and upstand sealant coming away and cracked caulk along new skirting.
Work in a place like Staxigoe is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
Do you need new build mastic in Staxigoe?
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak.
Signs it’s time to call us include:

Joints and finishes in Staxigoe homes
Staxigoe is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Staxigoe, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
