How we handle new build mastic in Easterhouse
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include shower seals failing in the first year or two and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on show homes, skirting & floors and windows & doors.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Easterhouse: your questions answered
Do you cover Easterhouse for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Easterhouse is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Easterhouse station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can, and we’ll quote. We’ll tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
Do you need new build mastic in Easterhouse?
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For new homes near Easterhouse station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the cure time is
- How long the guarantee is
New build mastic in Easterhouse: local notes
Easterhouse 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Easterhouse, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
How we quote for new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home.

- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
