New build mastic for homes and businesses in Kennethmont
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Typical jobs include gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and cracked caulk along new skirting, across windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Kennethmont 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 look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Do the sealants smell?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule, room by room. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we will quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kennethmont
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

Do you need new build mastic in Kennethmont?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Around Kennethmont, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
