Shiskine questions
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Shiskine?

Is Shiskine in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Shiskine is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How we handle new build mastic in Shiskine
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. 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, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and sealant work across a run of new homes.
Around smaller Scottish places like Shiskine, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shiskine and across North Ayrshire.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. 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 over time.
Landlord and commercial work in Shiskine

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins.

- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a place like Shiskine, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Joints and finishes in Shiskine homes
Shiskine is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
In and around Shiskine, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Shiskine, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How we quote for new build mastic

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site

What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:

- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
