New build mastic in Armadale
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you have cracked caulk along new skirting and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Armadale, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outdoor work around Armadale depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Armadale
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What affects the quote in Armadale
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property

That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We’ll agree it with you first.
Joints and finishes in Armadale homes

When to call us in Armadale
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Around Armadale, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
