What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outside jobs in Tannochside need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints

How we handle new build mastic in Tannochside
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Common call-outs are for gaps behind new kitchen upstands and shower seals failing in the first year or two, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and kitchens.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Where are you based?

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Joints and finishes in Tannochside homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Tannochside 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.
In and around Tannochside, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Surfaces we seal
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Skirting & floors
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
Landlords and agents in Tannochside can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Do you need new build mastic in Tannochside?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
If you’ve bought a new home near Uddingston station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
