About our new build mastic in Westhill
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you’re dealing with plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can help, on kitchens, skirting & floors and windows & doors alike.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What else we do in Westhill
Why deal with it now?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job. Outdoor work around Westhill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
