New build mastic in Parkhouse
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include worktop and upstand sealant coming away and second-fix sealing on new plots, across kitchens, skirting & floors and show homes.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Why act early in Parkhouse
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures and we will tell you. In an older home around Parkhouse, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What affects the quote in Parkhouse
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
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.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Follow the cure time we give you
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Joints and finishes in Parkhouse homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Parkhouse 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 Ashfield station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Signs you need new build mastic in Parkhouse
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
In and around Parkhouse, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Parkhouse 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.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
