New build mastic for homes and businesses in Kirkton of Culsalmond
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and people most often call us about smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
For a place like Kirkton of Culsalmond, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Follow the cure time we give you
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Common problems we fix in Kirkton of Culsalmond
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
