Surface by surface

Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Cranhill
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We’re often asked to deal with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and sealant work across a run of new homes, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in Cranhill.
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.

Common problems we fix in Cranhill
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Internal frame sealant that has split
If you’ve bought a new home near Carntyne station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the colour is chosen
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a city area like Cranhill, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- 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.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Advice
Why act early in Cranhill
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- 180+ five-star Google reviews

- We leave the area clean and tidy
Landlord and commercial work in Cranhill
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

New homes and floors in Cranhill
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Cranhill is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
