New build mastic for homes and businesses in Athelstaneford
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you have shower seals failing in the first year or two and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can put it right.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
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.

What else we do in Athelstaneford
Do you need new build mastic in Athelstaneford?
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
For new homes near Drem station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Athelstaneford: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Drem station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before we start.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work.
