FAQs for Kirktown of Fetteresso
I let a flat near Stonehaven station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Kirktown of Fetteresso for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kirktown of Fetteresso is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
What colour sealant will you use?
It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before we start.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Do you need new build mastic in Kirktown of Fetteresso?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Around Kirktown of Fetteresso, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How much experience the applicator has
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home. Outside jobs in Kirktown of Fetteresso need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
How to get a quote
