Why it’s worth doing now in Roadside of Kinneff
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- You choose the colour before work begins
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

New build mastic in Roadside of Kinneff, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We are often asked to deal with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, across windows & doors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.

When to call us in Roadside of Kinneff
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
In and around Roadside of Kinneff, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.

Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
