Questions from Gardenstown
Do you cover smaller places like Gardenstown?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is new build mastic in Gardenstown guaranteed?
All our work, in Gardenstown and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone right away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
New build mastic in Gardenstown, done properly
Across Gardenstown, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and second-fix sealing on new plots.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Gardenstown
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Whether the job is in Gardenstown itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

New build mastic around Gardenstown
Gardenstown is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Gardenstown, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. Outdoor work around Gardenstown depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- 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’re given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors
Why deal with it now?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
