About our new build mastic in Lesmahagow

Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you have joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Around smaller Scottish places like Lesmahagow, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Lesmahagow and everywhere else we cover.

New build mastic around Lesmahagow

Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.

Whether the job is in Lesmahagow itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Keeping the joints in good condition

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Wipe joints with warm soapy water
  • Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
  • Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
  • Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years

Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.

Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.

Do you need new build mastic in Lesmahagow?

The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Internal frame sealant that has split
  • Second-fix sealing on new plots
  • Shower seals failing in the first year or two

In and around Lesmahagow, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to choose a mastic man

When something else is needed

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

  • Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
  • Cracking that points to a structural problem

If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Bathrooms & en suites

Quotes for new build mastic in Lesmahagow

For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

  • The number of rooms or windows
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • The amount of work

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What we need to know

To make quoting easier, please include:

  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • Where the property is

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.

Leave it or put it right?

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 an older home around Lesmahagow, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Questions from Lesmahagow

Is new build mastic in Lesmahagow guaranteed?

Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Is Lesmahagow within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Which products do you use?

The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.

Where are you based?

We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.

Can you work from my snagging list?

Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.

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. For a place like Lesmahagow, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.

  1. We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
  3. We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
  4. We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
  5. Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
