How we handle new build mastic in Stevenston

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. Typical jobs include second-fix sealing on new plots and shower seals failing in the first year or two, across windows & doors, kitchens and show homes.

Work in a place like Stevenston is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.

You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Stevenston is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.

Will it make a mess?

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.

Should I try DIY first?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

What affects the quote in Stevenston

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:

DIY versus a professional finish

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.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
  • Keep photos and emails about snagging items
  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
  • Open a window or run the fan after bathing

Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.

A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.

Different surfaces, different methods

Bathrooms and en suites

Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.

Kitchens

Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens, food-safe where it’s needed.
