Advice
How we handle new build mastic in Westhill
Across Westhill, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We are often asked to deal with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracked caulk along new skirting, on kitchens, show homes and windows & doors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What new build mastic looks like in Westhill
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.

How the job changes by surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms & en suites
Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In an older home around Westhill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Common questions in Westhill
Will you come out to Westhill?
Yes, Westhill is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Westhill for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Westhill is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that doesn’t work out, we are happy to quote with our 12-month guarantee.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Common problems we fix in Westhill
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
In and around Westhill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
