New build mastic in Viewhill
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Viewhill. 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. If you have new-build shower sealant that has already split and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right, on kitchens, show homes and plot handovers alike.
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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

New build mastic in Viewhill: local notes
Viewhill is within about 3 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, 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.
For new homes near Inverness Airport station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Viewhill is about 4 miles east of Inverness, in Highland. Jobs in Viewhill get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, Viewhill among them. For nearby work, see our Aberdeen page, about 78 miles away.
Every address in IV2 is within our area for new build mastic, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you’re just outside Viewhill, we cover Balloch (1 mile north), Culloden (1 mile west), Cradlehall (1 mile west), Newlands of Culloden (1 mile east) and Westhill (2 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Inverness (4 miles west), Nairn (11 miles north-east), Merkinch (5 miles west), Dingwall (14 miles north-west), Hilton (4 miles south-west) and Alness (15 miles north).

Why act early in Viewhill
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. In a place like Viewhill, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outside jobs in Viewhill 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. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

When to call us in Viewhill
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around Viewhill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
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.
