- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we handle new build mastic in Scadabhagh
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. If you have gaps behind new kitchen upstands and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Scadabhagh, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a place like Scadabhagh, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Do you need new build mastic in Scadabhagh?
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
In and around Scadabhagh, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How we quote for new build mastic
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Common questions in Scadabhagh
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Scadabhagh?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Scadabhagh?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Should I wait before resealing?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
