How we handle new build mastic in Carlogie

Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and kitchens, and people most often call us about worktop and upstand sealant coming away and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.

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.

We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How the visit works

On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Around Carlogie, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.

  1. We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
  3. Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
  4. We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
  5. Each area is checked and left with its cure time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Why deal with it now?

Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. In an older home around Carlogie, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What the job involves on each surface

Show homes

We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.

Bathrooms and en suites

Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

DIY versus a professional finish

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

What new build mastic looks like in Carlogie

Carlogie is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.

In and around Carlogie, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Carlogie questions

Do you cover smaller places like Carlogie?

Yes, Carlogie is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Do you work for landlords with property near Carnoustie station?

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?

Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.

What information do you need?

Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What do you put in the joint?

The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Where do you work from?

We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?

No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.

For landlords and businesses

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.

What sealant work can’t fix

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant

If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we seal

  • Skirting & floors
  • Windows & doors
  • Bathrooms & en suites
  • Show homes
  • Kitchens
  • Plot handovers

Signs you need new build mastic in Carlogie

Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
  • Skirting joints opening in the first winter
  • Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list

If you’ve bought a new home near Carnoustie station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
