New build mastic for homes and businesses in Spott
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. We work on show homes, plot handovers and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along new skirting and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
Around smaller Scottish places like Spott, 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.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
To get a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.

New homes and floors in Spott
Spott 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For new homes near Dunbar station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Spott, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common questions in Spott
Do you work for landlords with property near Dunbar station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Spott?
Yes. Spott is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Spott and the rest of East Lothian, along with the rest of our area.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Leave it or put it right?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Spott, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
