New build mastic for homes and businesses in Srath Carran
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. We work on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and cracked caulk along new skirting.
For a place like Srath Carran, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

New homes and floors in Srath Carran
Srath Carran is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Srath Carran, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Strathcarron station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Follow the cure time we give you
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Srath Carran
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with pictures. In a place like Srath Carran, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, 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.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a place like Srath Carran, 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.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Common questions in Srath Carran
I let a flat near Strathcarron station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Srath Carran?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
