How we handle new build mastic in Lundin Links
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Lundin Links. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you are dealing with joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

New build mastic in Lundin Links: local notes
Lundin Links is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For new homes near Leven station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Lundin Links, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Lundin Links is about 2 miles north-east of Leven, in Fife. From the centre of Lundin Links to the outskirts, new build mastic is available for homes and businesses alike. 133 places in Fife are on our list, large and small. Our Dundee page covers work nearby (18 miles or so).
All of KY8 is covered for new build mastic. Streets in the area include Golf Road, Leven Road and Links Road, all of which we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
Why act early in Lundin Links
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- We are fully insured
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Colour picked to suit the job
What affects the quote in Lundin Links
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
FAQs for Lundin Links
Is Lundin Links within the area you cover?
Yes. Lundin Links is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Leven station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before work begins.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Lundin Links may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
