New build mastic in Kirkcudbright, done properly
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Common call-outs are for worktop and upstand sealant coming away and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, across windows & doors, plot handovers and kitchens.
Around smaller Scottish places like Kirkcudbright, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

Why act early in Kirkcudbright
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures and we will tell you. Around Kirkcudbright, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Kirkcudbright questions
Is new build mastic in Kirkcudbright guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Kirkcudbright?
Yes, Kirkcudbright is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
