New build mastic for homes and businesses in Cannich
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, kitchens and show homes, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
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 one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What new build mastic looks like in Cannich
Cannich is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Cannich, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Cannich, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Leave it or put it right?
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. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cannich
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outside jobs in Cannich 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. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
FAQs for Cannich
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Cannich?
All our work, in Cannich and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Cannich within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Cannich.
