How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Jordanhill, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

How we handle new build mastic in Jordanhill
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and internal frame sealant that has split.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. In Jordanhill, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

New homes and floors in Jordanhill
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Jordanhill 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.
In and around Jordanhill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
Do you need new build mastic in Jordanhill?
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
If you’ve bought a new home near Scotstounhill station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What affects the quote in Jordanhill
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:

Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
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.

FAQs for Jordanhill
Can you do new build mastic in Jordanhill?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Jordanhill is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Jordanhill?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long does new build mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
