How we handle new build mastic in Dunollie
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are leaking shower tray seals in a new home and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
For a place like Dunollie, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Dunollie as everywhere else we work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dunollie
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
New homes and floors in Dunollie
Dunollie is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For new homes near Oban station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Questions from Dunollie
Is Dunollie within the area you cover?
Yes. Dunollie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Oban station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Dunollie, along with the rest of our area.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer.
What we’re called out for in Dunollie
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Around Dunollie, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What else we do in Dunollie
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outside jobs in Dunollie need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
Getting a quote
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
