New build mastic in Letham: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Letham, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

About our new build mastic in Letham
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about sealant that never bonded to the surface and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered as agreed.
Signs you need new build mastic in Letham
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
For new homes near Perth station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the cure time is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. 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.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why us?
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A choice of colours where the product allows
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What else we do in Letham
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
