If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
New build mastic in Brig o'Turk
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Typical jobs include plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, across show homes, plot handovers and kitchens.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

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

Do you need new build mastic in Brig o'Turk?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
For jobs in and around Brig o'Turk, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What product goes in the joint
- How long the guarantee is
- What the cure time is
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outside jobs in Brig o'Turk need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, 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.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.

Why act early in Brig o'Turk
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. If you are unsure which you have, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with pictures. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
