How we handle new build mastic in Cleghorn
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you are dealing with sealant work across a run of new homes and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and show homes alike.
For a place like Cleghorn, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

When to call us in Cleghorn
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
In and around Cleghorn, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Cleghorn
Do you work for landlords with property near Lanark station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Cleghorn in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Cleghorn is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Quotes for new build mastic in Cleghorn

- The problem you’ve noticed

- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
