New build mastic in Bogmoor
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. If you’re dealing with cracked caulk along new skirting and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around smaller Scottish places like Bogmoor, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
What we’re called out for in Bogmoor
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For jobs in and around Bogmoor, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods

Common questions in Bogmoor
Is new build mastic in Bogmoor guaranteed?
All our work, in Bogmoor and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Bogmoor?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
What does new build mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Around Bogmoor, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bogmoor
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
