How we handle new build mastic in Old Blair
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and kitchens, and people most often call us about cracked caulk along new skirting and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
For a place like Old Blair, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
What affects the quote in Old Blair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about new build mastic in Old Blair

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.
Is Old Blair within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.

It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Signs you need new build mastic in Old Blair
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For new homes near Blair Atholl station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- What preparation is included
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
