How we handle new build mastic in Tillietudlem
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. Typical jobs include untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
For a place like Tillietudlem, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

FAQs for Tillietudlem
Is Tillietudlem within the area you cover?
Yes. Tillietudlem 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.
Can you do new build mastic in Tillietudlem?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Tillietudlem 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.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can, and we will quote. We will tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots from start to finish. Outside jobs in Tillietudlem need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Why it’s worth doing now in Tillietudlem
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In an older home around Tillietudlem, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- We are fully insured
- Over 20 years’ experience
- 12-month guarantee on every job
