New build mastic in Gairney Bank, done properly
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have leaking shower tray seals in a new home and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, we can put it right.
For a place like Gairney Bank, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.

Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

Why act early in Gairney Bank
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

What else we do in Gairney Bank
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Record problems with dated photos
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
