New build mastic in Polmont, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. Common call-outs are for gaps behind new kitchen upstands and sealant that never bonded to the surface, on show homes, kitchens and plot handovers.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outdoor work around Polmont depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.

Joints and finishes in Polmont homes
Polmont is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Polmont, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Polmont
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with photos and we’ll tell you. In an older home around Polmont, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
