New build mastic across South Lanarkshire: what to expect
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. We are often asked to deal with cracked caulk along new skirting and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
What you will pay
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Where we work in South Lanarkshire
Homes across South Lanarkshire range from older properties with timber floors to new builds settling in. Skirting, threshold and floor joints open up in both, as floors move and new buildings settle.
Our work covers the whole of Scotland, South Lanarkshire included. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather.
East Kilbride: For new homes near East Kilbride station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around East Kilbride, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around South Lanarkshire, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Why it fails
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
How we quote for new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
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. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
South Lanarkshire: your questions answered
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone right away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
How much does new build mastic cost in South Lanarkshire?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items, and we’ll quote. We’ll tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
