When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

New build mastic in Kilmaurs
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include sealant that never bonded to the surface and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, across bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and windows & doors.
For a place like Kilmaurs, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What else we do in Kilmaurs
Should I try it myself first?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.
Common questions in Kilmaurs
Is Kilmaurs within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Kilmaurs for new build mastic?
Yes, Kilmaurs is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Which products 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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across East Ayrshire.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
When to call us in Kilmaurs
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Around Kilmaurs, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether you can choose the colour
What new build mastic looks like in Kilmaurs
Kilmaurs is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you’ve bought a new home near Kilmaurs station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
