New Build Mastic in Cults
Professional new build mastic in and around Cults, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Cults, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
New build mastic in Cults, done properly
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We are often asked to deal with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, on skirting & floors, kitchens and plot handovers.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Cults, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
