New build mastic for homes and businesses in An Luirg
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on show homes, windows & doors and kitchens, and people most often call us about sealant work across a run of new homes and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

FAQs for An Luirg
Is An Luirg within the area you cover?
Yes. An Luirg is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lairg station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are generally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification and we’ll quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Windows & doors

New build mastic in An Luirg: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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 new homes near Lairg station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
