New build mastic for homes and businesses in Stoneywood

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. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.

Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?

Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a place like Stoneywood, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

FAQs for Stoneywood

Do you cover Stoneywood for new build mastic?

Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Stoneywood is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.

Is Stoneywood within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?

No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before we start.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Are you insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.

What do you put in the joint?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.

Should I try DIY first?

Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Can I do it myself?

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Looking after it afterwards

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:

  • Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
  • Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
  • Record problems with dated pictures
  • Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured

Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.

Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.

When something else is needed

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:

  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • Plumbing faults behind the sealant
  • Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath

If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Plot handovers
  • Bathrooms & en suites

Do you need new build mastic in Stoneywood?

Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
  • Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
  • Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
  • Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles

In and around Stoneywood, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Our hiring checklist

The process

There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home. Outdoor work around Stoneywood depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.

  1. We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
  2. The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
  3. Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
  4. We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
  5. Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
