Do you need new build mastic in Strathyre?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
The most common problems we see are:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Whether the job is in Strathyre itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

New build mastic in Strathyre, done properly
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, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and sealant work across a run of new homes.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours in a single home in most cases. Outside jobs in Strathyre need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

New homes and floors in Strathyre
Strathyre 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Strathyre, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we quote for new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Strathyre: your questions answered
Is Strathyre within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is new build mastic in Strathyre guaranteed?
All our work, in Strathyre and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
