How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a Scottish town like Carluke, parking is normally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. If you’re in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
New build mastic in Carluke
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Typical jobs include skirting joints opening in the first winter and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, across skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
Many newer Scottish homes have timber frames, which settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up in the first year or two.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first and primer used where needed.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carluke
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Questions from Carluke
Do you work for landlords with property near Carluke station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Carluke in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Carluke is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
What does new build mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. Scottish weather finds any gap, and in a town like Carluke, failed outside joints soon let damp into walls. Indoors, failed sealant lets water into floors and ceilings.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
