About our new build mastic in Corkerhill
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. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that is what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. Typical jobs include gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, across show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. In Corkerhill, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Corkerhill, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- 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.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Corkerhill, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Why deal with it now?
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Private landlords in Corkerhill must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Corkerhill questions
I let a flat near Corkerhill station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do new build mastic in Corkerhill?
Yes, Corkerhill is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We agree the sealant items with you before work begins.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What new build mastic looks like in Corkerhill
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Corkerhill station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.
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.
