How we handle new build mastic in Craigend
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Craigend. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you’re dealing with cracks appearing as a new home settles and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. For landlords in Craigend, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Quotes for new build mastic in Craigend
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

New build mastic in Craigend: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Craigend is in the west of Scotland, which 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 Robroyston station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What we are called out for in Craigend
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Around Craigend, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Craigend: your questions answered
Is new build mastic in Craigend guaranteed?
All our work, in Craigend and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
I let a flat near Robroyston station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
How long does new build mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
