New build mastic in The Murray, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We are often asked to deal with shower seals failing in the first year or two and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, across skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

What affects the quote in The Murray

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

If you’re in The Murray and need new build mastic, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before work begins.
Why act early in The Murray
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- 20+ years of sealant experience
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours in a single home, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outdoor work around The Murray depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- 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
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

New build mastic around The Murray
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. The Murray 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.
For new homes near East Kilbride station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around The Murray, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

FAQs for The Murray
Can you do new build mastic in The Murray?
Yes, The Murray is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like The Murray?
Yes. The Murray is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Should I go to my builder first?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our one-year guarantee.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
