About our new build mastic in Clynder
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. If you have sealant that never bonded to the surface and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, we can help.
Around smaller Scottish places like Clynder, new homes tend to be single plots 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 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Clynder
Do you cover Clynder for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Clynder is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is Clynder within the area you cover?
Yes, Clynder is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What new build mastic looks like in Clynder
Clynder is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, 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.
Around Clynder, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. 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 start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.

- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
