Common questions in Windhill
Is Windhill within the area you cover?

Is Windhill in your area for new build mastic?

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
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 will agree it with you first.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you guarantee your work?

About our new build mastic in Windhill
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. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are skirting joints opening in the first winter and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Windhill and everywhere else we cover.

New homes and floors in Windhill
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
Around Windhill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Muir of Ord station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
