New build mastic in Broomhouse, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on skirting & floors, show homes and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are internal frame sealant that has split and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Work in a place like Broomhouse is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
How we quote for new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Why act early in Broomhouse
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In an older home around Broomhouse, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Joints and finishes in Broomhouse homes
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.
For new homes near Baillieston station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Broomhouse, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. Outside jobs in Broomhouse need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
