New build mastic for homes and businesses in Old Deer
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. If you have beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
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 stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints

Landlord and commercial work in Old Deer
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
