How we handle new build mastic in Auchmithie
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference. Common call-outs are for untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and gaps between new skirting and floors, across skirting & floors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we’re called out for in Auchmithie
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
For new homes near Arbroath station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
FAQs for Auchmithie
Is Auchmithie in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Auchmithie is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Auchmithie?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Auchmithie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. 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.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
