New build mastic for homes and businesses in Stronord
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers, and people most often call us about leaking shower tray seals in a new home and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
Work in a place like Stronord is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home and we leave things clean and tidy. Outdoor work around Stronord depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What we’re called out for in Stronord
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Internal frame sealant that has split
For jobs in and around Stronord, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stronord
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a place like Stronord, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

New homes and floors in Stronord
Stronord is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
