New-build mastic & snagging in Crutherland, South Lanarkshire
Our applicators work in Crutherland on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant

New build mastic in Crutherland
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include gaps between new skirting and floors and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home from start to finish. Somewhere like Crutherland may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
FAQs for Crutherland
I let a flat near East Kilbride station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you do new build mastic in Crutherland?
Yes, Crutherland is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
How much does new build mastic cost in Crutherland?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that doesn’t work out, we are happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We will tell you when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Leave it or put it right?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal can’t. If you are unsure which you have, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with photos and we will tell you. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

New build mastic around Crutherland
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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.
Around Crutherland, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common problems we fix in Crutherland
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
For new homes near East Kilbride station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
