The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access

New build mastic in Dunragit
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. Typical jobs include untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and internal frame sealant that has split, across bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and skirting & floors.
For a place like Dunragit, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Why act early in Dunragit
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. If you are unsure which you have, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with photos. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
FAQs for Dunragit
Is new build mastic in Dunragit guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Dunragit?
Yes, Dunragit is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What colour sealant will you use?
It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We will agree it with you first.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Common problems we fix in Dunragit
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Whether the job is in Dunragit itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included

What new build mastic looks like in Dunragit
Dunragit is within about 2 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Dunragit, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
