New build mastic for homes and businesses in Blochairn
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. Common call-outs are for beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, on skirting & floors, show homes and kitchens.
Older tenement flats usually have timber floors on joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. In Blochairn, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Leave it or put it right?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. If you are unsure which you have, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with photos. Private landlords in Blochairn must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- 20+ years of sealant experience

New homes and floors in Blochairn
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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For new homes near Alexandra Parade station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Blochairn, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes

- Plot handovers
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing.
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home from start to finish. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Blochairn, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Blochairn, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
