New build mastic in Kirkton of Durris, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. We work on kitchens, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about leaking shower tray seals in a new home and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
Around smaller Scottish places like Kirkton of Durris, 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.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kirkton of Durris
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a place like Kirkton of Durris, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

What else we do in Kirkton of Durris
Signs you need new build mastic in Kirkton of Durris
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, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
In and around Kirkton of Durris, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outside jobs in Kirkton of Durris need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
