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 a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. In a city area like Summerhill, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- 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.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Signs you need new build mastic in Summerhill
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
In and around Summerhill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about new build mastic in Summerhill
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Summerhill for new build mastic?
Yes, Summerhill is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
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 do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Summerhill, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Record problems with dated photos
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
