What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
How we handle new build mastic in Swinton
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. If you have leaking shower tray seals in a new home and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Swinton and everywhere else we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Around Swinton, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
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. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts

New homes and floors in Swinton
Swinton 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Swinton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Easterhouse station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How we quote for new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. For a place like Swinton, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
Swinton questions
Can you do new build mastic in Swinton?

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.

Is there any odour?

How much does new build mastic cost in Swinton?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
