New build mastic in Kirkgunzeon
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. We work on skirting & floors, show homes and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Kirkgunzeon
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with photos. 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.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We’re fully insured

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the 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.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.

Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.
