New build mastic in Hurlford, done properly
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. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you have worktop and upstand sealant coming away and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What new build mastic looks like in Hurlford
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Kilmarnock station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before work begins.

Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.

Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In an older home around Hurlford, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Signs you need new build mastic in Hurlford
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
In and around Hurlford, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
