How we handle new build mastic in Colgrain
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

New homes and floors in Colgrain
Colgrain is close to 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.
Around Colgrain, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Craigendoran station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why act early in Colgrain
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with pictures and we will tell you. Around Colgrain, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Colgrain: your questions answered
I let a flat near Craigendoran station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do new build mastic in Colgrain?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Colgrain is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone right away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
