New-build mastic & snagging in Mastrick, Aberdeen
New-build sealant joints in Mastrick need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Mastrick
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that is what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
Older tenement flats usually have timber floors on joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Mastrick, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Questions from Mastrick
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do new build mastic in Mastrick?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Mastrick is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items. We’ll tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.

Do you need new build mastic in Mastrick?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For new homes near Aberdeen station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured?
- Whether VAT is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- When the joint can take water or movement
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. For landlords in Mastrick, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why Mastrick customers choose us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Read what affects the cost or what customers say.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
What affects the quote in Mastrick
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day

For a job in Mastrick, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
