A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
New build mastic in Boquhan
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. If you have cracked sealant around new window and door frames and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, we can help, on show homes, kitchens and plot handovers alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Boquhan, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished 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.

Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Boquhan, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- You choose the colour before work begins

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Boquhan may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Boquhan questions
Do you cover Boquhan for new build mastic?
Yes, Boquhan is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Boquhan?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
What we are called out for in Boquhan
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.
The most common problems we see are:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Whether the job is in Boquhan itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Joints and finishes in Boquhan homes
Boquhan is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Boquhan, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
