About our new build mastic in Townhill
Across Townhill, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Typical jobs include worktop and upstand sealant coming away and new-build shower sealant that has already split, on kitchens, skirting & floors and plot handovers.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job. Around Townhill, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work

- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. In a place like Townhill, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why book with us
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We agree the colour with you first
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Common problems we fix in Townhill
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Internal frame sealant that has split
If you’ve bought a new home near Dunfermline Queen Margaret station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the colour is chosen

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Where is Mr Mastic based?

Do you use white or clear sealant?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before work begins.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
