New build mastic in Barns of Claverhouse, done properly
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation. We work on windows & doors, show homes and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop and upstand sealant coming away and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Surface by surface
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.

Signs you need new build mastic in Barns of Claverhouse
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
In and around Barns of Claverhouse, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Will there be a smell?

Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before we start.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
