New build mastic for homes and businesses in Stor
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What affects the quote in Stor
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The amount of work
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What we are called out for in Stor
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
Around Stor, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

FAQs for Stor
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Stor?
All our work, in Stor and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Stor?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we’ll quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stor
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a place like Stor, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Stor
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- We never seal over old sealant
- Fully insured

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Stor may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Joints and finishes in Stor homes
Stor is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
Whether the job is in Stor itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Stor (Gaelic: Stoer) is in Highland. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Stor is covered for new build mastic, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Stor is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland we cover.
Work in IV27 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. Close by, we work in Stoer (1 mile south-west), Lochinver (5 miles south-east), An Druim Beag (5 miles north-east), Scourie More (11 miles north-east) and Scourie (12 miles north-east). If you are somewhere remote, the job takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Landlord and commercial work in Stor
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
