New build mastic in Kinmundy
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. If you have shower seals failing in the first year or two and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can help, whatever the surface.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms & en suites
When to call us in Kinmundy
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
Around Kinmundy, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What the cure time is
- Which colour the sealant will be
How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outside jobs in Kinmundy need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Why act early in Kinmundy
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few photos. 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.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
New build mastic around Kinmundy
