Our new build mastic service in Falkirk
Across Falkirk, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and cracked caulk along new skirting.
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots.
- 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.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
What you will pay
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

New build mastic across Falkirk: local notes
Across Falkirk, from Grangemouth, Bo'ness and Larbert outwards, new homes go up alongside older streets. Snagging in new homes and floor joints in older ones are both part of the work.
Our work covers the whole of Scotland, Falkirk included. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast. In the coastal parts of Falkirk, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Falkirk: For new homes near Falkirk Grahamston station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Falkirk, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
What we’re called out for in Falkirk
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
What happens if it’s left?
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step.
Comparing quotes

- Who turns up on the day
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if the job turns out different
Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Common questions in Falkirk
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
