New build mastic for homes and businesses in Montrose
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. Common call-outs are for cracked caulk along new skirting and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, across show homes, skirting & floors and plot handovers.
Scottish towns like Montrose have older streets and newer estates, with new homes still being built in many. New homes need their sealant and floor joints finished properly, and older ones need them renewing.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We quote each job on its own. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. In a Scottish town like Montrose, parking is normally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. For flats, mention the shared stair or door entry system.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

New homes and floors in Montrose
Montrose is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For new homes near Montrose station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Common questions in Montrose
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Montrose?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Montrose station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Do you work in Montrose?
We do. Our applicators work in Montrose.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule ready for handover. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope and we will quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We’ll agree it with you first.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
