About our new build mastic in Muthill
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Perth and Kinross.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Signs you need new build mastic in Muthill
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.

- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
