How we handle new build mastic in Whitehills
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, plot handovers and windows & doors alike.
For a place like Whitehills, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Record problems with dated photos
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
New build mastic in Whitehills: local notes
Whitehills 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.
In and around Whitehills, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Around Whitehills, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Whitehills: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Whitehills?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Whitehills?
Yes, Whitehills is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Whitehills.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Why act early in Whitehills
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. If you are unsure which you have, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with photos. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

When to call us in Whitehills
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry first.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Whether the job is in Whitehills itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents and landlords in Whitehills can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
