New build mastic in High Blantyre, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. If you have second-fix sealing on new plots and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What new build mastic looks like in High Blantyre
High Blantyre is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around High Blantyre, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What we’re called out for in High Blantyre
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
If you’ve bought a new home near Blantyre station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home. For a place like High Blantyre, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
