New build mastic for homes and businesses in Haugh of Urr
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. Typical jobs include leaking shower tray seals in a new home and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, across skirting & floors, kitchens and plot handovers.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
Landlord and commercial work in Haugh of Urr
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
Your questions about new build mastic in Haugh of Urr
Can you do new build mastic in Haugh of Urr?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Haugh of Urr is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is new build mastic in Haugh of Urr guaranteed?
All our work, in Haugh of Urr and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
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.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Why act early in Haugh of Urr
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In an older home around Haugh of Urr, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
