- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
How we handle new build mastic in Glamis
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens, and people most often call us about cracked caulk along new skirting and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
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.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

New build mastic around Glamis
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.

Questions from Glamis
Is Glamis in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Glamis is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Glamis?
All our work, in Glamis and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our 12-month guarantee.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does new build mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Why act early in Glamis
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a place like Glamis, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

What affects the cost of new build mastic

- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
When to call us in Glamis
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Around Glamis, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How the colour is chosen
- Are they insured?
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. For a place like Glamis, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- 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.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
