New build mastic in Rattray, done properly
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 is not put right, get in touch with us. Common call-outs are for new-build shower sealant that has already split and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, on show homes, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

New build mastic in Rattray: 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 Rattray, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When to call us in Rattray
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Whether the job is in Rattray itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Outdoor work around Rattray depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Why it’s worth doing now in Rattray
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through cannot. If you are unsure which you have, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer. In an older home around Rattray, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
