New build mastic for homes and businesses in Collieston
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are second-fix sealing on new plots and cracked caulk along new skirting.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Collieston
For anyone letting property in or around Collieston, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Around Collieston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
When to call us in Collieston
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Collieston, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who turns up on the day
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal

New build mastic in Collieston: local notes
Collieston 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.
Whether the job is in Collieston itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
