New-build mastic & snagging in Temple, Glasgow
New build mastic for Temple, by sealant specialists with 20+ years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Temple
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about gaps behind new kitchen upstands and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two, in Temple as anywhere.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

New build mastic around Temple
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Temple, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Anniesland station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Temple
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Temple?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
I let a flat near Anniesland station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Should I go to my builder first?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that does not work out, we are happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we will quote.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
How much does new build mastic cost in Temple?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Temple, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- 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, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
If you manage several properties in or around Temple, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.

Leave it or put it right?
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 for the lot. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Temple, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
