New build mastic for homes and businesses in Keills
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Typical jobs include sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and sealant work across a run of new homes, on show homes, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Work in a place like Keills is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What affects the quote in Keills
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
New build mastic around Keills
Keills 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Keills, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What we’re called out for in Keills
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
For jobs in and around Keills, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. Around Keills, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Full insurance on every job
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- 12-month guarantee on every job

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.

The process
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. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outdoor work around Keills depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
