Quotes for new build mastic in Muirhouse
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
About our new build mastic in Muirhouse
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Muirhouse. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are gaps behind new kitchen upstands and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in North Lanarkshire.

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Do you need new build mastic in Muirhouse?
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
If you’ve bought a new home near Shieldmuir station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Muirhouse: your questions answered
Is Muirhouse within the area you cover?

Is it messy?

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Muirhouse?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Muirhouse need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
