New build mastic in Kilmuir, done properly
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you have new-build shower sealant that has already split and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Kilmuir is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.
Questions from Kilmuir
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Kilmuir?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Kilmuir for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kilmuir is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
New build mastic in Kilmuir: local notes
Kilmuir is within about 2 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Whether the job is in Kilmuir itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Kilmuir, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What happens if it’s left?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. 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.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

For new build mastic in Kilmuir, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and the area is left clean. Outside jobs in Kilmuir need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
