How we handle new build mastic in New Abbey
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across New Abbey. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you have smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can help, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers alike.
For a place like New Abbey, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.

Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours in a single home. Around New Abbey, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What else we do in New Abbey
Landlords, agents and businesses in New Abbey
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What new build mastic looks like in New Abbey
New Abbey is within about 2 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
