New build mastic in Tobermory, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We’re often asked to deal with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and second-fix sealing on new plots, across plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tobermory and across Argyll and Bute.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Tobermory depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not 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, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What else we do in Tobermory
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Questions from Tobermory
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Tobermory?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Tobermory within the area you cover?
Yes. Tobermory is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Tobermory?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.

When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.

- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
