New build mastic in Stobswell, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked caulk along new skirting and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Stobswell, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Joints and finishes in Stobswell homes

Around Stobswell, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed 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 chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites

Quotes for new build mastic in Stobswell
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Stobswell
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Stobswell, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- We never seal over old sealant
