How we handle new build mastic in Bankglen
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, because that is what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can help.
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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first.

Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.

Advice

- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What new build mastic looks like in Bankglen
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
In and around Bankglen, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For new homes near New Cumnock station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. Around Bankglen, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why us?
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Fully insured
- Arbo and Everbuild products
Can I do it myself?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and pictures are welcome.
