Aberlour New Build Mastic
Professional new build mastic in and around Aberlour, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
What we’re called out for in Aberlour
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
Whether the job is in Aberlour itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How we handle new build mastic in Aberlour
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Aberlour. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you are dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Aberlour, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Aberlour and across Moray.

Common questions in Aberlour
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Aberlour?
All our work, in Aberlour and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Aberlour for new build mastic?
Yes, Aberlour is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Should I wait before resealing?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before we start.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Aberlour may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
Quotes for new build mastic in Aberlour
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I do it myself?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. In an older home around Aberlour, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
