Landlord and commercial work in Findochty

New build mastic in Findochty
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What affects the quote in Findochty
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why it’s worth doing now in Findochty
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. In a place like Findochty, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Joints and finishes in Findochty homes
Findochty is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Findochty, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Findochty?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Common problems we fix in Findochty
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For jobs in and around Findochty, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
