When to call us in Loans of Tullich
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
If you’ve bought a new home near Fearn station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

About our new build mastic in Loans of Tullich
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 show homes, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
For a place like Loans of Tullich, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Loans of Tullich
Do you cover Loans of Tullich for new build mastic?
Yes, Loans of Tullich is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Fearn station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
How long does new build mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.

How we quote for new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Need a quote? Please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Skirting & floors

What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. In a place like Loans of Tullich, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- We’re fully insured

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there.

Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
