About our new build mastic in Lugar
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Common call-outs are for kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, across skirting & floors, plot handovers and kitchens.
For a place like Lugar, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Lugar and everywhere else we cover.

FAQs for Lugar
Is Lugar in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Lugar is part of that. 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 Auchinleck station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Lugar?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours in a single home, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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.
Common problems we fix in Lugar
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
For new homes near Auchinleck station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
What new build mastic looks like in Lugar
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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.
Around Lugar, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
Quotes for new build mastic in Lugar
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Every job is quoted individually. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send photos if you have them.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outside jobs in Lugar need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
