New build mastic in Patterton, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We are often asked to deal with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and windows & doors.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours in a single home. Outside jobs in Patterton need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What new build mastic looks like in Patterton
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
For new homes near Patterton station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Patterton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Patterton: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Patterton station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Patterton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
