- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that is easy

New build mastic in Standburn
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Common call-outs are for untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and skirting joints opening in the first winter, across kitchens, skirting & floors and plot handovers.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Why act early in Standburn
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Around Standburn, 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.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need new build mastic in Standburn?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
In and around Standburn, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.

Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items. We’ll tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
