About Us

About Tradecast Building Services

Tradecast Building Services is a Glasgow-based, family-run contractor with over 25 years’ experience working within the residential sector. The business operates primarily in post-completion environments, supporting national housebuilders with multi-trade remedial works once properties have been handed over and occupied.

Our work sits beyond initial snagging, addressing more complex or later-emerging issues that require coordination across multiple trades within live developments.

Focused on Post-Completion Residential Works

Tradecast specialises in post-completion repair and maintenance on new-build housing estates. We work under instruction from housebuilder customer care teams, managing remedial works across individual plots and wider developments where consistency, access management and realistic outcomes are required.

This focus reflects the practical demands of post-handover environments, where repairs must be carried out efficiently within occupied homes and in line with housebuilder requirements and applicable NHBC standards.

Key People

Tradecast is led and managed by a close-knit team who are directly involved in the day-to-day running of the business. Every project benefits from hands-on leadership, clear lines of responsibility and a commitment to doing things right.

Here are the people who keep things running:

Our 1989 Wimpey timber framed house has leaked since it was 5 years old. Wind and rain on the front of the house caused water penetration. This leaked into the ceilings of the front porch and dining room, which both extend beyond the main roof, under a hip roof. I have lost count of the number of NHBC and insurance assessors, builders and roofers who have said they would fix the problem. The leadwork was replaced at least three times and the corner with the quoin stones was removed and rebuilt. The brickwork was painted with silicone "sealant" twice and the windows replaced. The main roof was replaced and the hip roof replaced twice. Nothing fixed the leak.

After the winter storms of 2025/26 we faced further water damage. I contacted Tradecast (who respond very quickly by phone or email). Joseph Bryce, the general manager, came out to inspect the house and said that the cavity tray above the porch and the dining room was either damaged or not fitted.

He sent a quote to cut several rows of bricks out from under the windows and fit new cavity trays then make the wall good again. He also included the cost of repairing the plasterboard ceiling which had been badly damaged. This quote was quite a bit more expensive than that of another builder but they did not mention cavity trays, so I went with Tradecast and I am really glad I did.

Tradecast were able to start work within a fortnight and actually did the external works while we were away on a winter holiday. When we returned I was amazed to see that the repair was almost invisible. The brick and cement works were a perfect match. The internal joinery, plaster work and painting were then carried out by very tidy, polite and skilled tradesmen and the result is also an invisible repair with absolutely no internal mess.

We have had several storms since the repair and so far there is absolutely no sign of water penetration. Joseph then came and visited to check we were happy with the job before payment was requested. I have no hesitation in recommending Tradecast on the following criteria:

Ease of contact/communication *****
Ability to identify then solve the problem *****
Time it took to start the job *****
Time it took to complete the job *****
Quality of workmanship *****
Attitude of tradesmen *****
Tidiness during and after the works *****
