What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
About our new build mastic in Langside
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have sealant that never bonded to the surface and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, we can help, on skirting & floors, plot handovers and windows & doors alike.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two, in Langside as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
Langside: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Pollokshaws East station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Langside?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can and we’ll give you a quote. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

Common problems we fix in Langside
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
In and around Langside, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in.

- 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, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

New build mastic around Langside
