New-build mastic & snagging in North Roe, Shetland Islands
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in North Roe? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.

- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in North Roe
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on kitchens, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and people most often call us about new-build shower sealant that has already split and gaps between new skirting and floors.
For a place like North Roe, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What else we do in North Roe
When to call us in North Roe
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For jobs in and around North Roe, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
