New homes and floors in Vassa
Vassa is close to 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Vassa itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Vassa, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Vassa is in the Shetland Islands. Anywhere in ZE2, our applicators can take on new build mastic. Our the Shetland Islands coverage runs to 63 places, Vassa among them.

What else we do in Vassa
Landlord and commercial work in Vassa
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Why it’s worth doing now in Vassa
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few photos. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours in a single home. Around Vassa, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
