What affects the cost of new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
New build mastic in Scatsta, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on plot handovers, show homes and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are sealant that never bonded to the surface and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Scatsta and across the Shetland Islands.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
New homes and floors in Scatsta
Scatsta is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Scatsta, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Scatsta is in the Shetland Islands. Scatsta gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. 63 places in the Shetland Islands are on our list, large and small.

Do you need new build mastic in Scatsta?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
For jobs in and around Scatsta, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

For anyone letting property in or around Scatsta, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. In a place like Scatsta, small leaks are easy to put off, 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. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Around Scatsta, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
