How we handle new build mastic in Dunblane
Across Dunblane, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. 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 skirting & floors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Common problems we fix in Dunblane
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
In and around Dunblane, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before booking anyone

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Around Dunblane, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.
