New build mastic for homes and businesses in Fankerton
Across Fankerton, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Typical jobs include joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and internal frame sealant that has split, across skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
Around smaller Scottish places like Fankerton, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Fankerton and across Falkirk.

What happens if it’s left?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures and we’ll tell you. In an older home around Fankerton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. Outdoor work around Fankerton depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- 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 are given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Common problems we fix in Fankerton
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
For new homes near Larbert station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Fankerton: your questions answered
Do you cover Fankerton for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Fankerton is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Larbert station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
How much does new build mastic cost in Fankerton?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
