New build mastic for homes and businesses in Burntisland
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. If you have sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Burntisland, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why deal with it now?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
See our cost guide or our reviews.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
Your questions about new build mastic in Burntisland
Do you work for landlords with property near Burntisland station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Burntisland?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Should I wait before resealing?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What affects the quote in Burntisland
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
What we’re called out for in Burntisland
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around Burntisland, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
