Quotes for new build mastic in Drummore
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Drummore
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. If you have sealant that never bonded to the surface and internal frame sealant that has split, we can help.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. We’ll plan around viewing times.
When to call us in Drummore
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
For jobs in and around Drummore, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish. Outdoor work around Drummore 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.
- 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.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What happens if it’s left?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Drummore, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

Drummore: your questions answered

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Drummore within the area you cover?
Yes, Drummore is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
What does new build mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we can reseal it properly.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
