Questions from Innis nan Lìon
Do you cover Innis nan Lìon for new build mastic?
Yes, Innis nan Lìon is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is Innis nan Lìon within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something isn’t sealant, we will say so.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
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 will cut it out and reseal it.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
About our new build mastic in Innis nan Lìon
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. We work on show homes, windows & doors and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What the job involves on each surface

Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.
How we quote for new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Record problems with dated photos
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
