New-build mastic & snagging in Tolastadh bho Thuath, Na h-Eileanan Siar
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for homes and businesses in Tolastadh bho Thuath and across Na h-Eileanan Siar. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is usually left for about a day before water reaches them.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
About our new build mastic in Tolastadh bho Thuath
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Tolastadh bho Thuath and everywhere else we cover.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in Tolastadh bho Thuath need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Tolastadh bho Thuath: your questions answered
Is Tolastadh bho Thuath in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Tolastadh bho Thuath is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Tolastadh bho Thuath?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something isn’t sealant, we will say so.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Leave it or put it right?
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
