About our new build mastic in Head of Muir
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on kitchens, show homes and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are frame joints opening as the plaster dries and gaps between new skirting and floors.
Around smaller Scottish places like Head of Muir, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Head of Muir may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive

Advice
What affects the cost of new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and photos are welcome.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
What happens if it’s left?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In an older home around Head of Muir, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
