What we are called out for in Baberton
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
For new homes near Wester Hailes station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Baberton
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Baberton. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you’re dealing with smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can put it right.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Baberton, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Baberton and everywhere else we cover.

Surface by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed.
Leave it or put it right?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Private landlords in Baberton must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
