New build mastic in Jackton, done properly
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you’re dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
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.

Leave it or put it right?
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In an older home around Jackton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Joints and finishes in Jackton homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
If you’ve bought a new home near Hairmyres station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. Around Jackton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
