Common questions in Gergask
Is Gergask within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Gergask?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that doesn’t work out, we’re happy to quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Gergask.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
About our new build mastic in Gergask
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. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are internal frame sealant that has split and leaking shower tray seals in a new home.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

New homes and floors in Gergask
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Gergask, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Around Gergask, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

Signs you need new build mastic in Gergask
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Whether the job is in Gergask itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which colour the sealant will be
- When the joint can take water or movement
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Gergask, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
