Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
New build mastic in Mundole
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. We work on skirting & floors, show homes and plot handovers, and people most often call us about kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
For a place like Mundole, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Mundole and across Moray.

Why act early in Mundole
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. If you are unsure which you have, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Mundole
I let a flat near Forres station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Mundole?
Yes, Mundole is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Mundole depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlord and commercial work in Mundole
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Joints and finishes in Mundole homes
Mundole is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, 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.
For new homes near Forres station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What we’re called out for in Mundole
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
In and around Mundole, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
