About our new build mastic in Caputh
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant around new window and door frames and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Caputh may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Your questions about new build mastic in Caputh
Can you do new build mastic in Caputh?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Caputh is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is Caputh within the area you cover?
Yes, Caputh is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We agree the sealant items with you before we start.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How we quote for new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Caputh and across Perth and Kinross. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
Leave it or put it right?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures. In an older home around Caputh, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- We agree the colour with you first
- Old sealant always removed completely
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Surface by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
New homes and floors in Caputh
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
