- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
How we handle new build mastic in Sandend
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you are dealing with second-fix sealing on new plots and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. 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 there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Joints and finishes in Sandend homes
Sandend is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For jobs in and around Sandend, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Sandend, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the quote in Sandend
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We quote each job on its own. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Why act early in Sandend
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. 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.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Sandend questions
Do you cover Sandend for new build mastic?
Yes, Sandend is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is Sandend within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we will quote for the sealant items. If something isn’t sealant, we’ll say so.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
What else we do in Sandend
Landlord and commercial work in Sandend
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Sandend depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property
