New build mastic in Lyne of Skene
Across Lyne of Skene, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Common call-outs are for joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, on kitchens, skirting & floors and show homes.
Around smaller Scottish places like Lyne of Skene, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Is Lyne of Skene within the area you cover?

Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Lyne of Skene 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. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Why act early in Lyne of Skene
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. In an older home around Lyne of Skene, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.

When to call us in Lyne of Skene
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For new homes near Kintore station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
