About our new build mastic in Middleton
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. We work on kitchens, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are leaking shower tray seals in a new home and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, 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 there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Middleton 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.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

What new build mastic looks like in Middleton

If you’ve bought a new home near Dunkeld & Birnam station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Middleton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What else we do in Middleton
Why act early in Middleton
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a place like Middleton, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
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. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Why book with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
See our cost guide or customer reviews.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
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.
Middleton: your questions answered
Is Middleton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dunkeld & Birnam station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
