What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

New build mastic in Tullibody
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. We’re often asked to deal with cracked sealant around new window and door frames and second-fix sealing on new plots, on kitchens, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tullibody
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Advice
Joints and finishes in Tullibody homes
Tullibody is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Tullibody, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Alloa station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
