New build mastic for homes and businesses in Craigellachie
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you have gaps behind new kitchen upstands and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can help, on kitchens, skirting & floors and plot handovers alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Craigellachie
Do you cover Craigellachie for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Craigellachie is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Craigellachie?
All our work, in Craigellachie and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.

New homes and floors in Craigellachie
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For jobs in and around Craigellachie, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.

Signs you need new build mastic in Craigellachie
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
In and around Craigellachie, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
