New-build mastic & snagging in Braeside, Aberdeen
New build mastic across Braeside and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Braeside
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you are dealing with gaps behind new kitchen upstands and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right, on kitchens, show homes and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Older tenement flats usually have timber floors on joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. In Braeside, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why act early in Braeside
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Braeside, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

- Sealant that never bonded to the surface

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Braeside, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

New build mastic around Braeside
Braeside is within about 3 miles 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For new homes near Aberdeen station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Quotes for new build mastic in Braeside
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
