New build mastic in Hurlet
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 sealant actually sticks. We work on windows & doors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Older tenement flats normally have timber floors on joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. In Hurlet, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What we are called out for in Hurlet
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
In and around Hurlet, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How we quote for new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
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 add photos by email if you can.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What new build mastic looks like in Hurlet
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, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
If you’ve bought a new home near Nitshill station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hurlet
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a tenement flat in Hurlet, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
