New-build mastic & snagging in Little Dunkeld, Perth and Kinross
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for homes and businesses in Little Dunkeld and across Perth and Kinross. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
New build mastic in Little Dunkeld, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on kitchens, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Around Little Dunkeld, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Quotes for new build mastic in Little Dunkeld
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why it’s worth doing now in Little Dunkeld
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
