About our new build mastic in Kinellar
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you have internal frame sealant that has split and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can help.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Leave it or put it right?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. In a place like Kinellar, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Kinellar: your questions answered
Is Kinellar within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Kintore station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
How long does new build mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours in a single home, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Signs you need new build mastic in Kinellar
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Around Kinellar, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
What new build mastic looks like in Kinellar
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you’ve bought a new home near Kintore station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outside jobs in Kinellar need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
