- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
About our new build mastic in Strachur
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you’re dealing with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

When to call us in Strachur
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For jobs in and around Strachur, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots for a typical job. Outdoor work around Strachur depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
Why deal with it now?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with photos and we’ll give you a straight answer. In a place like Strachur, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
