New build mastic for homes and businesses in Bonnybank
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. Typical jobs include sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and gaps between new skirting and floors, across kitchens, show homes and windows & doors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Bonnybank: your questions answered
I let a flat near Cameron Bridge station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do new build mastic in Bonnybank?
Yes, Bonnybank is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are generally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
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.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Common problems we fix in Bonnybank
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
For new homes near Cameron Bridge station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Outdoor work around Bonnybank depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t 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.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
