New build mastic in Branahuie
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We’re often asked to deal with gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and shower seals failing in the first year or two, across show homes, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds 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 drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Will you leave a mess?

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you use white or clear sealant?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours in a single home. Outdoor work around Branahuie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Do you need new build mastic in Branahuie?
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
In and around Branahuie, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why act early in Branahuie
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
