About our new build mastic in Greenlea
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Greenlea. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you have gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
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.
FAQs for Greenlea
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dumfries station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Greenlea?
Yes. Greenlea is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone right away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Greenlea and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway, along with the rest of our area.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
What new build mastic looks like in Greenlea

When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
Around Greenlea, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few photos and we will give you a straight answer. In an older home around Greenlea, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
