About our new build mastic in Linnvale
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, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. If you’re dealing with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
New build mastic around Linnvale
Linnvale is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Linnvale, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Linnvale
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In a place like Linnvale, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Linnvale?
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. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outside jobs in Linnvale need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, 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.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
When to call us in Linnvale
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Look out for any of the following:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
If you’ve bought a new home near Drumry station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
