How we handle new build mastic in Bardowie
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. Typical jobs include cracked sealant around new window and door frames and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, across plot handovers, skirting & floors and show homes.
For a place like Bardowie, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is usually left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification and we will quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
New build mastic around Bardowie
Bardowie 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you’ve bought a new home near Milngavie station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Bardowie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
