How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Inside a flat in New Aberdeen, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

New build mastic in New Aberdeen, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and kitchens, and people most often call us about gaps between new skirting and floors and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
Older tenement flats normally have timber floors on joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in New Aberdeen, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Do you need new build mastic in New Aberdeen?
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Around New Aberdeen, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Aberdeen
Landlords and agents in New Aberdeen can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in New Aberdeen, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Record problems with dated photos
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
