About our new build mastic in Countesswells
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We are often asked to deal with internal frame sealant that has split and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, on plot handovers, windows & doors and kitchens.
Work in a place like Countesswells is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Countesswells

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In an older home around Countesswells, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
