New-build mastic & snagging in Kemnay, Aberdeenshire
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Kemnay? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
About our new build mastic in Kemnay
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. Common call-outs are for beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and shower seals failing in the first year or two, on kitchens, skirting & floors and plot handovers.
Around smaller Scottish places like Kemnay, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

New build mastic in Kemnay: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For new homes near Kintore station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Kemnay, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Kemnay is about 4 miles south-west of Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire. From the centre of Kemnay to the outskirts, new build mastic is available for homes and businesses alike. Across Aberdeenshire, we cover 161 places, and Kemnay is one of them. Aberdeen is on our list too, about 13 miles from Kemnay.
We work across AB51 for new build mastic and the streets around it. Local streets include High Street, Station Road and Greystone Square, all of which we cover. If you’re just outside Kemnay, we cover Cottown (2 miles east), Monymusk (3 miles west), Kintore (4 miles east), Sauchen (4 miles south-west) and Port Elphinstone (4 miles north-east).

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
Leave it or put it right?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In an older home around Kemnay, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
