Landlords, agents and businesses in Aultbea
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Aultbea
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you have shower seals failing in the first year or two and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Aultbea, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What we’re called out for in Aultbea
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
In and around Aultbea, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before you book anyone
- How long to leave it before use
- What product goes in the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What preparation is included
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you are 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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Common questions in Aultbea
Can you do new build mastic in Aultbea?
Yes, Aultbea 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.
Is Aultbea within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are normally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
How much does new build mastic cost in Aultbea?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
What new build mastic looks like in Aultbea
Aultbea is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Aultbea itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Why act early in Aultbea
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. Around Aultbea, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
