- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

New build mastic in Aberfoyle, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. If you have sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Aberfoyle
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Aberfoyle?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Aberfoyle within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What colour sealant will you use?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Around Aberfoyle, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
New homes and floors in Aberfoyle
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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.
For jobs in and around Aberfoyle, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed 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.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together.
Signs you need new build mastic in Aberfoyle
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Aberfoyle, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Aberfoyle
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. 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.
