How we handle new build mastic in Hoswick
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you’re dealing with cracked caulk along new skirting and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help.
Work in a place like Hoswick is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Common problems we fix in Hoswick
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Around Hoswick, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

New build mastic around Hoswick
Hoswick is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Hoswick itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Hoswick is about 11 miles south of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Whether you’re in the middle of Hoswick or further out, new build mastic is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. 63 places in the Shetland Islands are on our list, large and small.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hoswick
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Around Hoswick, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We’re fully insured
- You choose the colour before work begins

Hoswick: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Hoswick?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Hoswick?
Yes. Hoswick is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we can reseal it properly.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
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’ll agree access with you when we book.
How much does new build mastic cost in Hoswick?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
