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.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.
New build mastic in Blackhill, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. If you’re dealing with sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Blackhill, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.

Common questions in Blackhill
Do you cover Blackhill for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Blackhill is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Blackhill?
All our work, in Blackhill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does new build mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours in a single home. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Should I wait before resealing?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
New build mastic in Blackhill: local notes
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Blackhill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What else we do in Blackhill
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Inside a flat in Blackhill, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- 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 look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Why act early in Blackhill
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. In a tenement flat in Blackhill, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Blackhill
