About our new build mastic in Murieston
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. We are often asked to deal with gaps behind new kitchen upstands and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, across bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and plot handovers.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why it’s worth doing now in Murieston
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a place like Murieston, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Questions from Murieston
I let a flat near Livingston South station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Murieston?
Yes. Murieston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
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.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
