New build mastic for homes and businesses in Kilcreggan
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. Both get the same care over preparation. If you are dealing with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, we can put it right.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Landlord and commercial work in Kilcreggan
Landlords and letting agents in Kilcreggan can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
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 to plan around. In an older home around Kilcreggan, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Tidy, careful work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Kilcreggan questions
I let a flat near Gourock station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Kilcreggan?
Yes, Kilcreggan is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What else we do in Kilcreggan
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on how much there is to do. Outdoor work around Kilcreggan 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, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
