New build mastic in Easter Kinkell, done properly
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. If you have skirting joints opening in the first winter and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can help, on kitchens, windows & doors and plot handovers alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Common problems we fix in Easter Kinkell
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
For new homes near Conon Bridge station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Questions from Easter Kinkell
I let a flat near Conon Bridge station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Easter Kinkell?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What does new build mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
