About our new build mastic in Aird Tong
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. We work on skirting & floors, show homes and plot handovers, and people most often call us about smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and internal frame sealant that has split.
Work in a place like Aird Tong is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What new build mastic looks like in Aird Tong
Aird Tong is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For jobs in and around Aird Tong, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Aird Tong questions
Will you come out to Aird Tong?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Aird Tong?
All our work, in Aird Tong and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Aird Tong.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outdoor work around Aird Tong depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why it’s worth doing now in Aird Tong
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
