About our new build mastic in Wilsontown
Across Wilsontown, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you have plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can help, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and kitchens alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common problems we fix in Wilsontown
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
Around Wilsontown, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is chosen
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. Outside jobs in Wilsontown 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. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something isn’t sealant, we will say so.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
