How we handle new build mastic in Diuranais
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Diuranais. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall.
Around smaller Scottish places like Diuranais, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
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. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Common problems we fix in Diuranais
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
For jobs in and around Diuranais, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours in a single home. Outdoor work around Diuranais depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.

What new build mastic looks like in Diuranais
Diuranais 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. Diuranais is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
Around Diuranais, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
