New-build mastic & snagging in Redding, Falkirk
Our applicators work in Redding on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Redding depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive

Advice
How we handle new build mastic in Redding
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. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, across show homes, plot handovers and kitchens.
For a place like Redding, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Common problems we fix in Redding
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
In and around Redding, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is VAT in the price?
- What insurance they hold
- How hidden problems are handled
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

What happens if it’s left?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
