New Build Mastic in Edzell
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for homes and businesses in Edzell and across Angus. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
How we handle new build mastic in Edzell
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes, and people most often call us about shower seals failing in the first year or two and internal frame sealant that has split.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Broken tiles or a split tray

If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

Common problems we fix in Edzell
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Whether the job is in Edzell itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote. In an older home around Edzell, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Your questions about new build mastic in Edzell
Is Edzell in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Edzell is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is new build mastic in Edzell guaranteed?

Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before we start.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
