Common questions in Camdean
Can you do new build mastic in Camdean?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Camdean is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Camdean?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What does new build mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
New build mastic in Camdean
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
What we are called out for in Camdean
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
For new homes near Rosyth station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
