New build mastic for homes and businesses in Old Philpstoun
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Common call-outs are for cracked caulk along new skirting and internal frame sealant that has split, across show homes, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Around smaller Scottish places like Old Philpstoun, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Joints and finishes in Old Philpstoun homes
Old Philpstoun is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Old Philpstoun, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Linlithgow station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Old Philpstoun depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. In a place like Old Philpstoun, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

- Cracking that points to a structural problem

- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
