How we handle new build mastic in Castlecary
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are internal frame sealant that has split and sealant work across a run of new homes.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.

Advice
What we are called out for in Castlecary
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
For new homes near Cumbernauld station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
