New build mastic in East Dunbartonshire: how it works
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Typical jobs include messy sealant that spoils new finishes and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, on plot handovers, kitchens and skirting & floors.
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job.
- 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.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How we quote

New build mastic across East Dunbartonshire: local notes
Homes across East Dunbartonshire range from older properties with timber floors to new builds settling in. Skirting, threshold and floor joints open up in both, as floors move and new buildings settle.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across East Dunbartonshire.
Kirkintilloch: For new homes near Lenzie station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Kirkintilloch, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Dunbartonshire
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Leave it or put it right?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether VAT is included
- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

What we are called out for in East Dunbartonshire
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
FAQs for East Dunbartonshire
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
