How we handle new build mastic in Drumoig
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Common call-outs are for second-fix sealing on new plots and cracked caulk along new skirting, on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and show homes.
Work in a place like Drumoig is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

FAQs for Drumoig
Will you come out to Drumoig?
Yes. Drumoig 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Leuchars station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. Outdoor work around Drumoig 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.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
