How we handle new build mastic in Kildary
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can help.
Around smaller Scottish places like Kildary, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

New build mastic around Kildary
Kildary is within about 2 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
Around Kildary, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Fearn station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
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.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.

Can you do new build mastic in Kildary?

Is Kildary within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
How much does new build mastic cost in Kildary?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Do you work for developers?
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.

Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.

Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Landlord and commercial work in Kildary
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Why deal with it now?
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. In a place like Kildary, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
