New build mastic in Pitlochry
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Pitlochry: your questions answered
Will you come out to Pitlochry?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Pitlochry 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’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
What affects the quote in Pitlochry
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Every job is quoted individually. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
When to call us in Pitlochry
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
If you’ve bought a new home near Pitlochry station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is VAT in the price?
- How much experience the applicator has

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
New build mastic in Pitlochry: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Pitlochry, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Pitlochry is about 17 miles north-west of Blairgowrie and Rattray, in Perth and Kinross. Across the PH16 area, we cover new build mastic for homes and businesses. Across Perth and Kinross, we cover 107 places, and Pitlochry is one of them. Our Dundee page covers work nearby, about 33 miles away.
Postcode districts we cover here for new build mastic: PH16. New build mastic is available to properties on Church Road, Station Road and Well Brae.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
Why act early in Pitlochry
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
