About our new build mastic in Johnstone
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and shower seals failing in the first year or two.
Scottish towns like Johnstone have older streets and newer estates, with new homes still being built in many. New homes need their sealant and floor joints finished properly, and older ones need them renewing.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Johnstone?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Johnstone.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. A visit in Johnstone needs three things planned: access, parking and where the work is. Outside work depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

New build mastic in Johnstone: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
If you’ve bought a new home near Johnstone station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Record problems with dated pictures
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Common problems we fix in Johnstone
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
In and around Johnstone, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
