How we handle new build mastic in Yorkhill
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have gaps behind new kitchen upstands and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can put it right.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Yorkhill, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Yorkhill as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Yorkhill
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
In and around Yorkhill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

New homes and floors in Yorkhill
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Yorkhill is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
For new homes near Partick station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Why act early in Yorkhill
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Yorkhill, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Questions from Yorkhill
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Yorkhill?
All our work, in Yorkhill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Yorkhill in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Yorkhill is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early as timber and plaster dry out. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
