About our new build mastic in Whiterow
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you are dealing with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
New build mastic in Whiterow: local notes
Whiterow 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Whiterow, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours in a single home. Outdoor work around Whiterow 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.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.

Quotes for new build mastic in Whiterow
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Signs you need new build mastic in Whiterow
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
For new homes near Wick station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
