New build mastic for homes and businesses in Kirktown
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. We’re often asked to deal with gaps between new skirting and floors and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, on show homes, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites.
Work in a place like Kirktown is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
New homes and floors in Kirktown
Kirktown 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Kirktown, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
Your questions about new build mastic in Kirktown
Is new build mastic in Kirktown guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do new build mastic in Kirktown?
Yes, Kirktown is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish.
How much does new build mastic cost in Kirktown?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What we’re called out for in Kirktown
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Whether the job is in Kirktown itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether you can choose the colour

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in Kirktown need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
