New build mastic for homes and businesses in Abington
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. Typical jobs include sealant work across a run of new homes and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What sealant work cannot fix

- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath

Signs you need new build mastic in Abington
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry first.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
For jobs in and around Abington, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Abington questions
Will you come out to Abington?
Yes, Abington is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is new build mastic in Abington guaranteed?
All our work, in Abington and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How we quote for new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
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 we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why act early in Abington
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. In an older home around Abington, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Abington
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Every job guaranteed for a year
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
