- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in An Druim Beag need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

How we handle new build mastic in An Druim Beag
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you are dealing with sealant work across a run of new homes and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around smaller Scottish places like An Druim Beag, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in An Druim Beag?

Do you do commercial work?

Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why it’s worth doing now in An Druim Beag
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. 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.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we are called out for in An Druim Beag
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Whether the job is in An Druim Beag itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What guarantee comes with the work
