New build mastic in Auldhouse, done properly
Across Auldhouse, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on plot handovers, show homes and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between new skirting and floors and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
For a place like Auldhouse, 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.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a place like Auldhouse, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a place like Auldhouse, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.

- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Joints and finishes in Auldhouse homes

In and around Auldhouse, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
