New build mastic in Pitkerro
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Pitkerro. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on show homes, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about worktop and upstand sealant coming away and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. For a flat in Pitkerro, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

New homes and floors in Pitkerro
Pitkerro 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.

Common problems we fix in Pitkerro
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Internal frame sealant that has split
Around Pitkerro, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Pitkerro, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely 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.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Quotes for new build mastic in Pitkerro
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pitkerro
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Private landlords in Pitkerro must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
