DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
About our new build mastic in Bellahouston
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 since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two, in Bellahouston as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Bellahouston and across Glasgow.

New build mastic in Bellahouston: local notes
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, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For new homes near Dumbreck station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Bellahouston is about 1 mile west of Glasgow, in Glasgow. Anywhere in G51, we can carry out new build mastic at your property. We cover 183 towns and villages across Glasgow, large and small.

When to call us in Bellahouston
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Around Bellahouston, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
The process
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 a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Bellahouston, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Record problems with dated photos
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
