How we handle new build mastic in Memsie
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 and if that stalls, we can do it. If you have plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Memsie, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How we quote for new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

FAQs for Memsie
Is Memsie within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Memsie?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

What happens if it’s left?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Signs you need new build mastic in Memsie
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Around Memsie, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- How much experience the applicator has
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home. Outdoor work around Memsie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
