About our new build mastic in Kirkhill
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Kirkhill. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you have joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can help, on kitchens, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Kirkhill and everywhere else we cover.

Joints and finishes in Kirkhill homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
In and around Kirkhill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Kirkhill station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why deal with it now?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Kirkhill: your questions answered
Can you do new build mastic in Kirkhill?
Yes, Kirkhill is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Kirkhill within the area you cover?
Yes. Kirkhill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Kirkhill?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Around Kirkhill, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
