Newmachar: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Dyce station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Newmachar?
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.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. If it isn’t resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
What colour sealant will you use?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before any work starts.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We will tell you when we quote.
About our new build mastic in Newmachar
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you’re dealing with cracked caulk along new skirting and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What new build mastic looks like in Newmachar

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a place like Newmachar, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Newmachar, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Signs you need new build mastic in Newmachar
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Around Newmachar, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- The length of the guarantee
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Newmachar and across Aberdeen. We can quote a run of properties together.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
