Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Kirktonhill? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.

- Cracked caulk along new skirting
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Kirktonhill
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you are dealing with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can help.
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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
What else we do in Kirktonhill
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
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.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send pictures if you have them.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outdoor work around Kirktonhill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What new build mastic looks like in Kirktonhill
Kirktonhill is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. 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.
For new homes near Dalreoch station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Kirktonhill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from Kirktonhill
Is Kirktonhill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Dalreoch station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before work begins.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
