New build mastic in Cornhill, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop and upstand sealant coming away and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Cornhill, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home. Parking in city streets around Cornhill can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
New homes and floors in Cornhill
Cornhill is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Cornhill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Aberdeen station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How long will you be here?

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Cornhill, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What affects the quote in Cornhill
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
