About our new build mastic in Raploch
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on skirting & floors, show homes and plot handovers, and people most often call us about shower seals failing in the first year or two and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
New build mastic in Raploch: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Outdoor work around Raploch 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.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Do you work for landlords with property near Stirling station?

Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Can you work from my snagging list?

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How much does new build mastic cost in Raploch?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
