New build mastic in Kinnesswood
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between new skirting and floors and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Joints and finishes in Kinnesswood homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Kinnesswood may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

What else we do in Kinnesswood
Kinnesswood: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Kinnesswood?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Kinnesswood for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kinnesswood is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kinnesswood
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. 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.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

Signs you need new build mastic in Kinnesswood
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, 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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Around Kinnesswood, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
What affects the quote in Kinnesswood
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
