Why it’s worth doing now in Lochearnhead
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

New build mastic in Lochearnhead
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and windows & doors, and people most often call us about shower seals failing in the first year or two and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Stirling.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

Joints and finishes in Lochearnhead homes
Lochearnhead 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Whether the job is in Lochearnhead itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How we quote for new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether the work is at height

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Common questions in Lochearnhead
Is Lochearnhead in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Lochearnhead is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Lochearnhead?
Yes. Lochearnhead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are usually two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We agree the sealant items with you before work begins.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
