About our new build mastic in Kinloch
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you’re dealing with sealant that never bonded to the surface and skirting joints opening in the first winter, we can help, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need new build mastic in Kinloch?
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
In and around Kinloch, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why act early in Kinloch
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
New homes and floors in Kinloch
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For jobs in and around Kinloch, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
