New Build Mastic in Craignure
New-build sealant joints in Craignure need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Skirting & floors
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Craignure
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We’re often asked to deal with skirting joints opening in the first winter and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on kitchens, skirting & floors and windows & doors.
Around smaller Scottish places like Craignure, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Craignure and across Argyll and Bute.

What new build mastic looks like in Craignure
Craignure is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For jobs in and around Craignure, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Craignure, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If someone has resealed it before

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outdoor work around Craignure depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Questions from Craignure
Do you cover Craignure for new build mastic?
Yes, Craignure is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Craignure?
Yes. Craignure is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it and our work is guaranteed for a year.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.
Leave it or put it right?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In a place like Craignure, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
