What affects the cost of new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

New build mastic in Clayholes: local notes
Clayholes is within about 2 miles 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, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you’ve bought a new home near Golf Street station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. Around Clayholes, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Clayholes is about 1 mile north-west of Carnoustie, in Angus. Clayholes gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 40 places across Angus, from the larger towns to small villages. There’s also a page for Dundee, about 10 miles away.
Here we cover the DD7 postcode area for new build mastic. You’ll find streets such as Isla Avenue, Shanwell Road and Balmachie Road.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
