About our new build mastic in Aberchirder
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. Common call-outs are for leaking shower tray seals in a new home and skirting joints opening in the first winter, on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes.
For a place like Aberchirder, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Aberchirder questions
Can you do new build mastic in Aberchirder?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Aberchirder is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is Aberchirder within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Aberchirder?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
For anyone letting property in or around Aberchirder, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Do you need new build mastic in Aberchirder?
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Internal frame sealant that has split
In and around Aberchirder, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- What preparation is included
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
What happens if it’s left?
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 damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
New build mastic around Aberchirder
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 Aberchirder itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
