New build mastic around Bardrainney
Bardrainney is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Bardrainney, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we handle new build mastic in Bardrainney
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. Common call-outs are for plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, across skirting & floors, show homes and plot handovers.
Around smaller Scottish places like Bardrainney, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Bardrainney
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
The most common problems we see are:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
If you’ve bought a new home near Woodhall station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
