Our new build mastic service in Glasgow

Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on windows & doors, plot handovers and show homes, and people most often call us about beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and second-fix sealing on new plots.

There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots in most cases.

First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
Each area is checked and left with its cure time.

New build mastic across Glasgow: local notes

Glasgow has everything from older homes with timber floors to brand-new houses. Floors move and new buildings settle, so skirting and floor joints open up in both.

Homes in Scotland come with their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. Glasgow is part of the area we cover across Scotland.

Glasgow: Around Glasgow, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Anderston station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

When something else is needed

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:

Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty

Landlord and commercial work in Glasgow

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

If you manage several properties in or around Glasgow, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.

Why deal with it now?

It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around.

What your quote should include

What happens if the job turns out different
How the colour is chosen
When the joint can take water or movement
Whether all the old sealant comes out first

DIY sealant or a professional job?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

How the job changes by surface

Show homes

We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.

Windows and doors

A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.

Questions from Glasgow

Do you work through snagging lists?

Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can and we will give you a quote. We will tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

Do you work for developers?

Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.

How long before the joint can be used?

Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.

Is it worth trying it myself?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
