About our new build mastic in Kings Park
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. Common call-outs are for shower seals failing in the first year or two and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, across show homes, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Kings Park and everywhere else we cover.

How the job changes by 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.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Do you need new build mastic in Kings Park?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
If you’ve bought a new home near Stirling station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Kings Park: your questions answered
Will you come out to Kings Park?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do new build mastic in Kings Park?
Yes, Kings Park is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
