New homes and floors in Yoker
Yoker 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Yoker, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

About our new build mastic in Yoker
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Yoker. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Common call-outs are for kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and gaps between new skirting and floors, on skirting & floors, show homes and kitchens.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Yoker, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the amount of work. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Yoker, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- 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.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
How we quote for new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- The amount of work
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Landlord and commercial work in Yoker
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When to call us in Yoker
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
For new homes near Yoker station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Yoker questions
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Yoker?
All our work, in Yoker and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
I let a flat near Yoker station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Yoker?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
