What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish. Outdoor work around Glen Moriston depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

New build mastic in Glen Moriston
Across Glen Moriston, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Common call-outs are for cracked sealant around new window and door frames and gaps between new skirting and floors, on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

New homes and floors in Glen Moriston
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Glen Moriston 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.

What we’re called out for in Glen Moriston
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
For jobs in and around Glen Moriston, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Why deal with it now?

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Record problems with dated photos
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our one-year guarantee.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
