About our new build mastic in Cromarty
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. We work on kitchens, show homes and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Your questions about new build mastic in Cromarty
Is Cromarty within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Cromarty in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Cromarty is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.

New build mastic around Cromarty
Cromarty is within about 1 mile of 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.
In and around Cromarty, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Cromarty, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Cromarty may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
