New build mastic in Dunscore
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. If you’re dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can put it right.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. 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.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we’re called out for in Dunscore
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
In and around Dunscore, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
How we quote for new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
To get a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
