What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
New build mastic in Drumoyne, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and plot handovers, and people most often call us about second-fix sealing on new plots and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Signs you need new build mastic in Drumoyne
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
For new homes near Cardonald station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before you book anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How much experience the applicator has
- Are they insured?
- How the colour is chosen
Joints and finishes in Drumoyne homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Drumoyne is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
In and around Drumoyne, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before

Why it’s worth doing now in Drumoyne
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Drumoyne, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
