About our new build mastic in Pollok
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We’re often asked to deal with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, across kitchens, show homes and skirting & floors.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in Pollok.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours in a single home. For a tenement in Pollok, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

New homes and floors in Pollok
Pollok 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For new homes near Priesthill & Darnley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Pollok questions
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Pollok?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do new build mastic in Pollok?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Pollok is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we are happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you need new build mastic in Pollok?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Around Pollok, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Why it’s worth doing now in Pollok
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Pollok, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.
