About our new build mastic in Chartershall
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. We work on skirting & floors, show homes and windows & doors, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
For a place like Chartershall, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Your questions about new build mastic in Chartershall
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stirling station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Chartershall?
Yes, Chartershall is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room and agree it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
Signs you need new build mastic in Chartershall
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
In and around Chartershall, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
