Our new build mastic service in Fife

Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.

Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots.

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.
Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.

Pricing in Fife

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

New build mastic across Fife: local notes

From Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes to its smaller places, Fife has new developments as well as older homes. New homes need their sealant and floor joints finished properly, and older ones need them renewing.

Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. We work across Scotland, including Fife. Fife includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.

Dunfermline: For new homes near Dunfermline City station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Dunfermline, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fife

If you manage several properties in or around Fife, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.

Landlords and agents in Fife can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

How the job changes by surface

Plot handovers

Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing to keep callbacks down.

Show homes

We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.

Why it fails

Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.

The most common problems we see are:

Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
New-build shower sealant that has already split

Leave it or put it right?

DIY kits do not 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.

Questions to ask before you book

What happens if the job turns out different
Whether the sealant suits the joint
Are they insured?
What guarantee comes with the work

What affects the quote in Fife

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:

The number of rooms or windows
The old material and how stubborn it is
How much there is to do
Working hours on commercial sites

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Asking for a quote

To make quoting easier, please include:

If someone has resealed it before
Any access issues, like height or stairs
The type of property
The rough size of the job

We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
