- What’s wrong with the joints now

How we handle new build mastic in Blairhall
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you are dealing with skirting joints opening in the first winter and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Blairhall is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outdoor work around Blairhall depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. Around Blairhall, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

New homes and floors in Blairhall
Blairhall is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Blairhall, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Blairhall questions
Do you cover Blairhall for new build mastic?
Yes, Blairhall is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is Blairhall within the area you cover?
Yes. Blairhall is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we’ll quote.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
When to call us in Blairhall
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.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Whether the job is in Blairhall itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
