New build mastic in Balintore
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and cracks appearing as a new home settles, across bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

For anyone letting property in or around Balintore, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Around Balintore, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
New build mastic around Balintore
Balintore is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For new homes near Fearn station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
