How we handle new build mastic in New Deer
Across New Deer, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks appearing as a new home settles and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

New Deer questions
Is new build mastic in New Deer guaranteed?
All our work, in New Deer and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to New Deer?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in New Deer?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something isn’t sealant, we will say so.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Quotes for new build mastic in New Deer
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
What happens if it’s left?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
