The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Lathones may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
About our new build mastic in Lathones
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. We’re often asked to deal with joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and new-build shower sealant that has already split, across kitchens, skirting & floors and plot handovers.
Work in a place like Lathones is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Lathones and across Fife.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
New homes and floors in Lathones
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For jobs in and around Lathones, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant

- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lathones
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Lathones, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lathones
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Do you need new build mastic in Lathones?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
Around Lathones, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
