How we quote for new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How we handle new build mastic in Portgordon
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. Common call-outs are for frame joints opening as the plaster dries and gaps between new skirting and floors, on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes.
Around smaller Scottish places like Portgordon, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Why act early in Portgordon
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few photos and we’ll tell you. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Signs you need new build mastic in Portgordon
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
Around Portgordon, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Your questions about new build mastic in Portgordon
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Portgordon?
All our work, in Portgordon and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do new build mastic in Portgordon?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Portgordon is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Around Portgordon, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Record problems with dated photos
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
What new build mastic looks like in Portgordon
Portgordon is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Whether the job is in Portgordon itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
