How new build mastic works in Midlothian

Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We are often asked to deal with gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, across skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens.

Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours in a single home.

First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
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.

New build mastic across Midlothian: local notes

In Midlothian, new build mastic work takes in new homes, older houses and commercial units, from Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith and Penicuik to the quieter places in between. The common thread is movement: every joint has to allow for it.

Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: harled walls, sash and case windows and, in the larger towns and cities, tenements. We work across Scotland, including Midlothian. Parts of Midlothian are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.

Bonnyrigg: Around Bonnyrigg, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Eskbank station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What we’re called out for in Midlothian

The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

New-build shower sealant that has already split
Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Sealant work across a run of new homes

Different surfaces, different methods

Bathrooms and en suites

New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.

Windows and doors

A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.

How we quote for new build mastic

The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

Which sealant suits the joint
How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
When we can work, for business premises
How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What to tell us for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Whether it has been sealed before
How we’d reach the joints
How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

To get a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.

Leave it or put it right?

Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. If you are unsure which you have, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What your quote should include

Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How the colour is chosen
How the joint is cleaned and prepared
How much experience the applicator has

For landlords and businesses

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.

Midlothian: your questions answered

How much does new build mastic cost in Midlothian?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.

Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?

A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.

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.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

Can you work from my snagging list?

Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something isn’t sealant, we’ll say so.

Does someone need to be in?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
