How we handle new build mastic in Law
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. Common call-outs are for joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, on windows & doors, show homes and plot handovers.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Law and across South Lanarkshire.

New homes and floors in Law
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Law, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For new homes near Carluke station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a place like Law, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What else we do in Law
Why it’s worth doing now in Law
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We agree the colour with you first
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
