Joints and finishes in Menzieshill homes
Menzieshill is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you’ve bought a new home near Invergowrie station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Menzieshill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

New build mastic in Menzieshill
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. Common call-outs are for internal frame sealant that has split and skirting joints opening in the first winter, on show homes, windows & doors and plot handovers.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags, in Menzieshill as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Menzieshill and across Dundee.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Inside a flat in Menzieshill, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Landlord and commercial work in Menzieshill
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Menzieshill and across Dundee. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Menzieshill
Is Menzieshill in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Menzieshill is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Invergowrie station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Leave it or put it right?
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. For landlords in Menzieshill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
