New build mastic in West Darlochan
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
For a place like West Darlochan, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.

New build mastic in West Darlochan: local notes
West Darlochan is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around West Darlochan, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around West Darlochan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Common questions in West Darlochan
Can you do new build mastic in West Darlochan?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and West Darlochan is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to West Darlochan?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Landlord and commercial work in West Darlochan
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents and landlords in West Darlochan can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
