New build mastic in Boddam, done properly
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. Typical jobs include smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and cracks appearing as a new home settles, across skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.
Work in a place like Boddam is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Do you need new build mastic in Boddam?
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Internal frame sealant that has split
For jobs in and around Boddam, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

New build mastic in Boddam: local notes
Boddam is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Boddam, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why deal with it now?
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. 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.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Boddam may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Boddam.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
