New build mastic in Barmulloch, done properly
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. If you’re dealing with cracks appearing as a new home settles and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can put it right, on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and windows & doors alike.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Barmulloch, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
When to call us in Barmulloch
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
For new homes near Barnhill station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
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.
New build mastic around Barmulloch
The west of Scotland 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
