Advice
About our new build mastic in Aberlemno
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on plot handovers, show homes and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
Work in a place like Aberlemno is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Aberlemno and across Angus.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Aberlemno
Is new build mastic in Aberlemno guaranteed?
All our work, in Aberlemno and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Aberlemno for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Aberlemno is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.

Common problems we fix in Aberlemno
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
For jobs in and around Aberlemno, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
