Piperdam: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Piperdam?
Yes, Piperdam is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Invergowrie station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
New build mastic in Piperdam, done properly
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 failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include cracked sealant around new window and door frames and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, on show homes, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
For a place like Piperdam, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.
New homes and floors in Piperdam
