How we handle new build mastic in Muirend
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Common call-outs are for sealant work across a run of new homes and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, on windows & doors, plot handovers and show homes.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Muirend, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Muirend
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Muirend?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for landlords with property near Muirend station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we can reseal it properly.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What does new build mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
When to call us in Muirend
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
Around Muirend, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Record problems with dated photos
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours in a single home.

New build mastic around Muirend
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Muirend 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Muirend station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
