New build mastic in Greengairs
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. If you have gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can help.
Work in a place like Greengairs is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Signs you need new build mastic in Greengairs
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
If you’ve bought a new home near Cumbernauld station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?
- How much experience the applicator has
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
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 the new finishes intact.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots.

- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.

Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a place like Greengairs, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
