New build mastic in Broomhill, done properly
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. We work on plot handovers, skirting & floors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are frame joints opening as the plaster dries and cracked caulk along new skirting.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. For a flat in Broomhill, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Inside a flat in Broomhill, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- 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
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Your questions about new build mastic in Broomhill
I let a flat near Hyndland station. Can you help?

Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Broomhill?
All our work, in Broomhill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours in a single home. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What we are called out for in Broomhill
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
If you’ve bought a new home near Hyndland station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Follow the cure time we give you
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
Joints and finishes in Broomhill homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
