- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
New build mastic in Craigiebuckler, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. We are often asked to deal with smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, on show homes, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Older tenement flats normally have timber floors on joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. In Craigiebuckler, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What to tell us for a quote

- Any previous sealing or DIY work
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. For a tenement in Craigiebuckler, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Craigiebuckler: your questions answered
Is new build mastic in Craigiebuckler guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
