New build mastic for Aberuthven homes and businesses

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Aberuthven

We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation, because that is what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. We work on show homes, kitchens and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about shower seals failing in the first year or two and cracked caulk along new skirting.

Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.

Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the visit works

On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Aberuthven depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.

  1. We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
  3. Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
  4. Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
  5. We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.

Before we arrive

New build mastic in Aberuthven: local notes

Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.

In and around Aberuthven, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Gleneagles station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Letting agents and landlords in Aberuthven can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Aftercare tips

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
  • Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
  • Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
  • Follow the cure time we give you

Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.

Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.

Should I try it myself first?

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Questions from Aberuthven

Do you cover Aberuthven for new build mastic?

Yes, Aberuthven is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Will you come out to Aberuthven?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Can tenants book the work?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.

Is it worth trying it myself?

You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?

Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our 12-month guarantee.

Can you work from my snagging list?

Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can, and we’ll quote. We’ll tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.

Which products do you use?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.

Is there any odour?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.

Why it’s worth doing now in Aberuthven

If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
