What new build mastic looks like in Oyne
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Oyne, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Insch station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Oyne is about 6 miles west of Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire. Jobs in Oyne get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee.

How we handle new build mastic in Oyne
Across Oyne, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are gaps behind new kitchen upstands and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification and we’ll quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outdoor work around Oyne depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Why act early in Oyne
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Oyne: your questions answered
Is Oyne within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Insch station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Record problems with dated photos
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
