Surface by surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
About our new build mastic in Borestone
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps behind new kitchen upstands and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Stirling.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What affects the quote in Borestone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.

Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
When to call us in Borestone
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
Around Borestone, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
