New build mastic for homes and businesses in Whiteford

For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.

Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.

Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Whiteford and across Aberdeenshire.

Common problems we fix in Whiteford

Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
  • Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
  • Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
  • Cracks appearing as a new home settles

For new homes near Inverurie station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Landlords and letting agents in Whiteford can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

The process

At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Whiteford, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.

  1. We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
  2. We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
  3. Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
  4. New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
  5. We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Surface by surface

Skirting and floors

New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.

Show homes

Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.

Whiteford: your questions answered

Is Whiteford within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Do you cover Whiteford for new build mastic?

Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Whiteford is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Are you insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

What colour sealant will you use?

That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We’ll agree it with you first.

Do I have to be there?

We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.

How long before the joint can be used?

That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.

What affects the cost of new build mastic

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The product the joint needs

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we need to know

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:

  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:

  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder

If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

  • Skirting & floors

  • Kitchens
  • Plot handovers

Can I do it myself?

Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
