New build mastic in Gellyburn
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 using the right product for each joint. Typical jobs include gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, on windows & doors, plot handovers and show homes.
For a place like Gellyburn, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Gellyburn
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Surface by surface
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Gellyburn: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Gellyburn?
Yes, Gellyburn is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dunkeld & Birnam station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We’ll agree it with you first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Common problems we fix in Gellyburn
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
Look out for these signs:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Around Gellyburn, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Are they insured?
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether you can choose the colour
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
What new build mastic looks like in Gellyburn
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you’ve bought a new home near Dunkeld & Birnam station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
