New-build mastic & snagging in Blairmore, Argyll and Bute

- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
New build mastic in Blairmore, done properly
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 generally lacks. If you have new-build shower sealant that has already split and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Blairmore is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Blairmore
Do you cover smaller places like Blairmore?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gourock station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
What does new build mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we will quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

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

Related advice
Do you need new build mastic in Blairmore?
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
Around Blairmore, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour
How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
