New build mastic for homes and businesses in Beeswing
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. Common call-outs are for gaps between new skirting and floors and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, across kitchens, show homes and plot handovers.
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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Beeswing: your questions answered
Is Beeswing within the area you cover?

Is Beeswing in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Beeswing is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we’ll quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered to the agreed spec.
What we are called out for in Beeswing
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Internal frame sealant that has split
For jobs in and around Beeswing, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What insurance they hold
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Why deal with it now?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures and we’ll tell you. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.
