New build mastic in Kelvinside: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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 Hyndland station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How we quote for new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and primer used where needed.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes 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. In Kelvinside, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Kelvinside: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Kelvinside?
All our work, in Kelvinside and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hyndland station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. If it isn’t resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items and we’ll give you a quote. We will tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Skirting & floors
- Windows & doors
Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. In a tenement flat in Kelvinside, 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.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Kelvinside
- We never seal over old sealant
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Colour picked to suit the job

When to call us in Kelvinside
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Around Kelvinside, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kelvinside
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
