- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
How we handle new build mastic in Priesthill
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and new-build shower sealant that has already split, across windows & doors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Priesthill, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How we quote for new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Joints and finishes in Priesthill homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Priesthill is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
Around Priesthill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Nitshill station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Why act early in Priesthill
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Private landlords in Priesthill must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
