DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
New build mastic in Craighouse
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. Typical jobs include beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, across bathrooms & en suites, show homes and windows & doors.
Around smaller Scottish places like Craighouse, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What affects the quote in Craighouse
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
New homes and floors in Craighouse
Craighouse 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. Craighouse is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
Whether the job is in Craighouse itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Craighouse, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Record problems with dated photos
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
FAQs for Craighouse
Is Craighouse within the area you cover?
Yes, Craighouse is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Craighouse in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Craighouse is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How much does new build mastic cost in Craighouse?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
