How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Inverkeilor 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 go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Inverkeilor
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Typical jobs include frame joints opening as the plaster dries and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and kitchens.
Work in a place like Inverkeilor is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Inverkeilor
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:

- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need new build mastic in Inverkeilor
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
Around Inverkeilor, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

FAQs for Inverkeilor
Is Inverkeilor within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is new build mastic in Inverkeilor guaranteed?
All our work, in Inverkeilor and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We will agree it with you first.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Joints and finishes in Inverkeilor homes
Inverkeilor is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Inverkeilor itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
