New build mastic for homes and businesses in Hollybush
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. Typical jobs include untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and shower seals failing in the first year or two, across show homes, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Work in a place like Hollybush is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Hollybush and everywhere else we cover.

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.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

Can I do it myself?
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
New build mastic in Hollybush: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
Whether the job is in Hollybush itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

FAQs for Hollybush
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Hollybush?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Hollybush in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Hollybush is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we’ll quote for the sealant items. If something is not sealant, we will say so.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Hollybush?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are usually two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.

What we are called out for in Hollybush
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
In and around Hollybush, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
