How we handle new build mastic in Craigmore
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 instead of bonding to the dust. If you have shower seals failing in the first year or two and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Craigmore, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Record problems with dated photos
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
New build mastic in Craigmore: local notes
Craigmore is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For jobs in and around Craigmore, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Craigmore, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
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.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Around Craigmore, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Your questions about new build mastic in Craigmore
Is Craigmore in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Craigmore is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Craigmore?
All our work, in Craigmore and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
