About our new build mastic in Carradale
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you’re dealing with plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Do you need new build mastic in Carradale?
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Around Carradale, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we quote for new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
We quote each job on its own. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first.
New homes and floors in Carradale
Carradale is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Carradale itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Your questions about new build mastic in Carradale
Will you come out to Carradale?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do new build mastic in Carradale?
Yes, Carradale is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. If it is not resolved, we can reseal it properly.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we’ll quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Around Carradale, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
