Landlord and commercial work in Gowrie Park
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Gowrie Park
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We are often asked to deal with cracked caulk along new skirting and new-build shower sealant that has already split, across windows & doors, skirting & floors and kitchens.
In a Scottish city, commercial floors have movement joints and thresholds that wear under traffic. In Gowrie Park, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
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 call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What we’re called out for in Gowrie Park
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Look out for any of the following:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
For new homes near Invergowrie station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
