New build mastic in Braehead
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference. Typical jobs include cracks appearing as a new home settles and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, on kitchens, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Braehead and across South Lanarkshire.

Landlord and commercial work in Braehead
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
If you manage several properties in or around Braehead, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

New build mastic around Braehead
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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.
For new homes near Thorntonhall station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Braehead, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.

When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
