New build mastic for homes and businesses in Hawick
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you have plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help, whatever the surface.
A lot of new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and they settle in their first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up in the first year or two, in Hawick as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need new build mastic in Hawick
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
Around Hawick, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who turns up on the day
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job usually takes a few hours in a single home, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a Scottish town like Hawick, parking is generally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. If you are in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Is Hawick in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Hawick is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items, and we will quote. We will tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Hawick.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Private landlords in a town like Hawick must keep homes wind and watertight under the Repairing Standard. Replacing failed sealant early is simpler than dealing with a complaint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
