How we handle new build mastic in Tullos
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on plot handovers, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and people most often call us about kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and shower seals failing in the first year or two.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

New homes and floors in Tullos
Tullos is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Tullos, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Broken tiles or a split tray

When to call us in Tullos
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Internal frame sealant that has split
For new homes near Aberdeen station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Surface by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tullos
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

FAQs for Tullos
Do you cover smaller places like Tullos?
Yes, Tullos is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aberdeen station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots in most cases. Outside jobs in Tullos need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
