New build mastic for homes and businesses in Auldhouse
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Auldhouse. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along new skirting and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
In a Scottish city, commercial floors have movement joints and thresholds that wear under traffic. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in Auldhouse.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Do you need new build mastic in Auldhouse?
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
In and around Auldhouse, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What new build mastic looks like in Auldhouse
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Auldhouse 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 Pollokshaws West station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Auldhouse: your questions answered
Can you do new build mastic in Auldhouse?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Auldhouse is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Auldhouse?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it is not resolved, we can reseal it properly.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
