New build mastic in Banchory-Devenick
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you are dealing with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can help.
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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common questions in Banchory-Devenick
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Banchory-Devenick?
Yes, Banchory-Devenick is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
When to call us in Banchory-Devenick
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
For new homes near Aberdeen station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

New build mastic in Banchory-Devenick: local notes

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
Landlord and commercial work in Banchory-Devenick
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Around Banchory-Devenick, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
