New build mastic for homes and businesses in Brunstane
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are sealant work across a run of new homes and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
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 Brunstane.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Brunstane, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

- Rated 4.9 stars on Google

Common questions in Brunstane
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Brunstane?
All our work, in Brunstane and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Brunstane for new build mastic?
Yes, Brunstane is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Edinburgh.
What colour sealant will you use?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a tenement in Brunstane, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
When to call us in Brunstane
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
In and around Brunstane, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
