New build mastic in Whitecraigs
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you’re dealing with sealant work across a run of new homes and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can help, on skirting & floors, show homes and plot handovers alike.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in Whitecraigs.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
When to call us in Whitecraigs
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
For new homes near Whitecraigs station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Follow the cure time we give you
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
