New build mastic in Monikie, done properly
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. Typical jobs include shower seals failing in the first year or two and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and windows & doors.
For a place like Monikie, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day before water reaches them.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.

Common questions in Monikie
Is Monikie within the area you cover?
Yes, Monikie is covered. 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.
Do you cover Monikie for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Monikie is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Monikie?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Why act early in Monikie
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. In an older home around Monikie, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- You choose the colour before work begins

Common problems we fix in Monikie
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
In and around Monikie, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
