New build mastic for homes and businesses in Tillicoultry
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are gaps between new skirting and floors and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Clackmannanshire.

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Skirting & floors
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
What we are called out for in Tillicoultry
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
In and around Tillicoultry, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
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, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tillicoultry
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Tillicoultry and across Clackmannanshire. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
New homes and floors in Tillicoultry

- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
