New build mastic in Craichie, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you are dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can put it right.
Work in a place like Craichie is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Craichie
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around Craichie, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Craichie
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- 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.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
