New build mastic in King's Park, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. Common call-outs are for skirting joints opening in the first winter and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, on plot handovers, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
In a Scottish city, commercial floors have movement joints and thresholds that wear under traffic. In King's Park, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job. In a city area like King's Park, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- 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.

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels 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.
For anyone letting property in or around King's Park, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
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 call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Common questions in King's Park
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kings Park station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is new build mastic in King's Park guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with photos. Private landlords in King's Park must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Joints and finishes in King's Park homes
