New build mastic for homes and businesses in West End
Across West End, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you’re dealing with worktop and upstand sealant coming away and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. For a flat in West End, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

Quotes for new build mastic in West End
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in West End, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Questions from West End
Is new build mastic in West End guaranteed?
All our work, in West End and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do new build mastic in West End?
Yes, West End is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
When to call us in West End
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
In and around West End, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Are they insured?
- What guarantee comes with the work
What happens if it’s left?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

New build mastic in West End: local notes
