New build mastic for homes and businesses in Kilmore
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. If you have gaps behind new kitchen upstands and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can put it right, on show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

The process
Once we’re on site, 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 Kilmore depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
What we are called out for in Kilmore
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Internal frame sealant that has split
In and around Kilmore, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- How long the guarantee is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

What else we do in Kilmore
New build mastic around Kilmore
Kilmore is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Kilmore 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.
For new homes near Oban station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Your questions about new build mastic in Kilmore
Do you cover Kilmore for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kilmore is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Kilmore?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we’ll quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kilmore
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
