New-build mastic & snagging in Broomhouse, Edinburgh
We cover Broomhouse for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and the area is left clean. Inside a flat in Broomhouse, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

New build mastic in Broomhouse, done properly
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you are dealing with worktop and upstand sealant coming away and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can put it right.
In a Scottish city, commercial floors have movement joints and thresholds that wear under traffic. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in Broomhouse.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Broomhouse and everywhere else we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Broomhouse
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Private landlords in Broomhouse must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

How we quote for new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
- The type of sealant required
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
