New build mastic in Thornwood, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and people most often call us about gaps between new skirting and floors and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in Thornwood.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why deal with it now?
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a tenement flat in Thornwood, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Do you hold any approvals?

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Thornwood and the rest of Glasgow, along with the rest of our area.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day before water reaches them.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a tenement in Thornwood, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
New homes and floors in Thornwood
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Thornwood 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 Partick station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Thornwood, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
