About our new build mastic in Candy Mill
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 using the right product for each joint. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant work across a run of new homes and shower seals failing in the first year or two.
For a place like Candy Mill, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Whether the job is in Candy Mill itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Candy Mill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why act early in Candy Mill
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Candy Mill
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. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Your questions about new build mastic in Candy Mill
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Candy Mill?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Candy Mill for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Candy Mill is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across South Lanarkshire.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
