New build mastic in Greenfaulds
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and the jobs we see most are internal frame sealant that has split and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Signs you need new build mastic in Greenfaulds
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Around Greenfaulds, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Your questions about new build mastic in Greenfaulds

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’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Greenfaulds for new build mastic?
Yes, Greenfaulds is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Joints and finishes in Greenfaulds homes

Leave it or put it right?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
