New build mastic in Braco, done properly
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Braco. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
Around smaller Scottish places like Braco, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for new build mastic
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
For new build mastic in Braco, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
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.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a place like Braco, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we are called out for in Braco
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
Look out for these signs:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
Whether the job is in Braco itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
