New-build mastic & snagging in Brocketsbrae, South Lanarkshire

- Second-fix sealing on new plots

Common problems we fix in Brocketsbrae
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
If you’ve bought a new home near Lanark station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

New build mastic in Brocketsbrae, done properly
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that is what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. Typical jobs include sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and cracked caulk along new skirting, on kitchens, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
Work in a place like Brocketsbrae is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Brocketsbrae
Do you cover smaller places like Brocketsbrae?
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.
Can you do new build mastic in Brocketsbrae?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Brocketsbrae is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
How much does new build mastic cost in Brocketsbrae?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
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.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
