New Byth questions
Is New Byth within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in New Byth?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover New Byth and the rest of Aberdeenshire, along with the rest of our area.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
What we’re called out for in New Byth
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For jobs in and around New Byth, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What product goes in the joint
- How long the guarantee is
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
