Landlord and commercial work in Nemphlar
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
New build mastic in Nemphlar
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. Typical jobs include shower seals failing in the first year or two and sealant that never bonded to the surface, on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and kitchens.
Around smaller Scottish places like Nemphlar, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we quote for new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Do you need new build mastic in Nemphlar?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
If you’ve bought a new home near Lanark station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. Outdoor work around Nemphlar depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.
