About our new build mastic in Strathbungo
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. If you have sealant that never bonded to the surface and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right, on windows & doors, skirting & floors and plot handovers alike.
Older tenement flats normally have timber floors on joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Strathbungo, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

New build mastic around Strathbungo
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Strathbungo 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.
For new homes near Queens Park (Glasgow) station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Strathbungo is about 1 mile south of Glasgow, in Glasgow. Jobs in Strathbungo get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 183 places across Glasgow.

Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. For landlords in Strathbungo, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Around Strathbungo, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
To get a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
Surface by surface
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first and primer used where needed.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Strathbungo, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
