How we handle new build mastic in Muirhead
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and plot handovers.
For a place like Muirhead, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Cracking that points to a structural problem

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job. For a place like Muirhead, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Leave it or put it right?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures. Around Muirhead, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

When to call us in Muirhead
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
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.
