How we handle new build mastic in Ardler
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks. If you have messy sealant that spoils new finishes and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can put it right, on kitchens, skirting & floors and show homes alike.
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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.

Common problems we fix in Ardler
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry.
Look out for these signs:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
In and around Ardler, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
