What affects the cost of new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
New build mastic in Arncroach
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you are dealing with gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right.
For a place like Arncroach, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
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.

When to call us in Arncroach
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Whether the job is in Arncroach itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

New homes and floors in Arncroach
Arncroach is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Arncroach, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Arncroach questions
Is new build mastic in Arncroach guaranteed?
All our work, in Arncroach and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Arncroach within the area you cover?
Yes. Arncroach is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Arncroach, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours in a single home. Outside jobs in Arncroach need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
