How we handle new build mastic in Ferryhill
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation, because that is what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. Typical jobs include untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, across bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
Older tenement flats normally have timber floors on joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. In Ferryhill, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Ferryhill, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- 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
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

New build mastic in Ferryhill: local notes
Ferryhill is within about 2 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For new homes near Aberdeen station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Your questions about new build mastic in Ferryhill
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Ferryhill?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Ferryhill can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
Do you need new build mastic in Ferryhill?
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
Around Ferryhill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
