Do you need new build mastic in Colliston?
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
In and around Colliston, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Colliston
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We are often asked to deal with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and cracked caulk along new skirting, across windows & doors, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Colliston and across Angus.

Colliston: your questions answered
Is Colliston within the area you cover?
Yes. Colliston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Arbroath station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Should I wait before resealing?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why act early in Colliston
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In an older home around Colliston, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
