Landlord and commercial work in Gargunnock
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
New build mastic in Gargunnock, done properly
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you have smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can help.
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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What else we do in Gargunnock
How we quote for new build mastic
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now

When to call us in Gargunnock
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
For jobs in and around Gargunnock, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Gargunnock?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
How long does new build mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
New homes and floors in Gargunnock
Gargunnock is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Gargunnock, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal.

For a place like Gargunnock, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
