Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
New build mastic in Airbles
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you are dealing with worktop and upstand sealant coming away and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can help, whatever the surface.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Do you need new build mastic in Airbles?
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
If you’ve bought a new home near Airbles station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What else we do in Airbles
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Outside jobs in Airbles need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What affects the quote in Airbles
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Common questions in Airbles
Will you come out to Airbles?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Airbles in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Airbles is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across North Lanarkshire.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
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.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
