Throsk New Build Mastic
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Throsk? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Throsk depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
How we handle new build mastic in Throsk
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. Common call-outs are for beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on skirting & floors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
Around smaller Scottish places like Throsk, new homes tend to be single plots 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.

Why act early in Throsk
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why book with us
- We are fully insured

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Joints and finishes in Throsk homes
Throsk is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Throsk, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For new homes near Alloa station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Common questions in Throsk
Will you come out to Throsk?
Yes. Throsk is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Throsk for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Throsk is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Should I go to my builder first?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. If it isn’t resolved, we will cut it out and reseal it.
