Landlord and commercial work in Port Henry
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
New build mastic in Port Henry, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you’re dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Port Henry, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots from start to finish. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
FAQs for Port Henry
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Port Henry?
All our work, in Port Henry and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Port Henry for new build mastic?
Yes, Port Henry is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
What does new build mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Port Henry.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
What else we do in Port Henry
Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Joints and finishes in Port Henry homes
Port Henry is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Port Henry, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How we quote for new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Common problems we fix in Port Henry
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Whether the job is in Port Henry itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
