New build mastic in Earlston, done properly
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. If you are dealing with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Earlston and across the Scottish Borders.

Can I do it myself?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Earlston: your questions answered
Is Earlston within the area you cover?

Do you cover Earlston for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Earlston is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

How much does new build mastic cost in Earlston?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Leave it or put it right?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Common problems we fix in Earlston
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
If you’ve bought a new home near Tweedbank station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
