Do you remove the old sealant?

Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Do you need new build mastic in Cummingston?
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Around Cummingston, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the cure time is
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Cummingston depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What new build mastic looks like in Cummingston
Cummingston is within about 1 mile 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Cummingston itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Cummingston is about 7 miles north-west of Elgin, in Moray. Cummingston gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. 58 places in Moray are on our list. We also work in Aberdeen, around 62 miles away.
All of IV30 is within our area for new build mastic. If you need new build mastic at a property on Seaview Road and Back Street or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. We also cover the places around Cummingston: Backlands (1 mile east), Hopeman (1 mile east), Burghead (1 mile west), College of Roseisle (2 miles south) and Duffus (2 miles east). We also work in nearby towns such as Elgin (7 miles south-east), Forres (9 miles south-west), Lossiemouth (6 miles east), Ashgrove (7 miles south-east), Fochabers (15 miles south-east) and Lhanbryde (10 miles south-east).

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Why act early in Cummingston
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
