How we handle new build mastic in Bridge of Alford
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. We work on windows & doors, show homes and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are leaking shower tray seals in a new home and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Common problems we fix in Bridge of Alford
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around Bridge of Alford, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
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.

How we quote for new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outside jobs in Bridge of Alford need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- 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
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
