New build mastic for homes and businesses in Carronbridge
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Carronbridge. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you are dealing with sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and skirting joints opening in the first winter, we can put it right.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.

What happens if it’s left?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few photos and we will give you a straight answer. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.

When to call us in Carronbridge
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
Look out for these signs:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
In and around Carronbridge, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
