New build mastic in Maryhill Park, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older tenement flats normally have timber floors on joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. In Maryhill Park, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Inside a flat in Maryhill Park, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

New homes and floors in Maryhill Park

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

Maryhill Park questions
Is new build mastic in Maryhill Park guaranteed?
All our work, in Maryhill Park and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for landlords with property near Maryhill station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What does new build mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Maryhill Park
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. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Maryhill Park, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
