New build mastic for homes and businesses in Kilrenny
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Kilrenny. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Kilrenny as everywhere else we work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kilrenny
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In an older home around Kilrenny, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.

Kilrenny is within about 1 mile 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Kilrenny 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.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- 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
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Do you need new build mastic in Kilrenny?
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around Kilrenny, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

FAQs for Kilrenny
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Kilrenny?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Kilrenny within the area you cover?
Yes, Kilrenny is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
