Landlord and commercial work in Gott
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Gott
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that never bonded to the surface and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
For a place like Gott, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
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 explain what it covers.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What new build mastic looks like in Gott
Gott is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For jobs in and around Gott, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Gott, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Gott is in the Shetland Islands. Every kind of property in Gott is covered for new build mastic, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Gott is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands we cover for new build mastic.
We cover every part of the ZE2 postcode area for new build mastic and the streets around it. You’ll find streets such as Stura, Gorsten and Gaet-a-Gott, and we cover them all. Other places close to Gott include Veensgarth (1 mile south-west), Gremista (3 miles south-east), Heogan (3 miles south-east), Lerwick (4 miles south-east) and Kalliness (4 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Scalloway (4 miles south-west), Brae (15 miles north) and Sandwick (13 miles south). If you are somewhere remote, a little more planning is needed, so mention it when you ask for a quote.
Local landmarks in Gott
A little further out are Montfield Hospital (3.7 miles south-east) and Tingwall Agricultural Museum (1.3 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Setter Hill and Strand Loch.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
Leave it or put it right?
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We’re fully insured
See our cost guide or what customers say.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Around Gott, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work

Your questions about new build mastic in Gott
Can you do new build mastic in Gott?
Yes, Gott is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Gott?
Yes. Gott is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. Once that’s done, or if they will not put it right, we can reseal it properly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Gott and the rest of the Shetland Islands.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
