Surface by surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Landlord and commercial work in Hillpark
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What new build mastic looks like in Hillpark
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Hillpark, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Hillpark, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
