Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
New build mastic in Addiebrownhill
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on plot handovers, show homes and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are cracks appearing as a new home settles and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Common problems we fix in Addiebrownhill
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
If you’ve bought a new home near Addiewell station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Can you do new build mastic in Addiebrownhill?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Addiebrownhill is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Addiebrownhill, along with the rest of our area.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
