About our new build mastic in Lumsden
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. Typical jobs include cracks appearing as a new home settles and second-fix sealing on new plots, on plot handovers, kitchens and show homes.
For a place like Lumsden, 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.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. Outdoor work around Lumsden depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Common questions in Lumsden
Is new build mastic in Lumsden guaranteed?
All our work, in Lumsden and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Lumsden for new build mastic?
Yes, Lumsden is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Lumsden?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is usually left for about a day to cure enough for use.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.

Leave it or put it right?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
