New Build Mastic in Logan
New build mastic across Logan and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. Around Logan, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

New build mastic in Logan, done properly
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include frame joints opening as the plaster dries and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, on windows & doors, plot handovers and kitchens.
Work in a place like Logan is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Landlord and commercial work in Logan
Landlords and agents in Logan can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Questions from Logan
Will you come out to Logan?
Yes. Logan 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.
I let a flat near Auchinleck station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before work begins.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the amount of work. For a place like Logan, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
What we are called out for in Logan
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
For new homes near Auchinleck station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
New homes and floors in Logan
The west of Scotland 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Logan, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
