New build mastic in Mallaig
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on show homes, kitchens and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked caulk along new skirting and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

New homes and floors in Mallaig
Mallaig is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Mallaig is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
In and around Mallaig, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For new homes near Mallaig station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Outside jobs in Mallaig need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Why deal with it now?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
