What affects the quote in Farr
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Farr
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Typical jobs include beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes.
Work in a place like Farr is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Other services in Farr
Leave it or put it right?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. 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.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Common questions in Farr
Can you do new build mastic in Farr?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Farr is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is new build mastic in Farr guaranteed?
All our work, in Farr and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a place like Farr, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Joints and finishes in Farr homes
Farr is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Whether the job is in Farr itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Farr, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
