New build mastic in Upper Dallachy, done properly
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. We are often asked to deal with second-fix sealing on new plots and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, on windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outdoor work around Upper Dallachy depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
