New build mastic for homes and businesses in Port na Craig
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Work in a place like Port na Craig is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need new build mastic in Port na Craig?
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
In and around Port na Craig, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What else we do in Port na Craig
What happens if it’s left?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Around Port na Craig, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Port na Craig
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What new build mastic looks like in Port na Craig
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
