New build mastic in Clermiston
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include gaps behind new kitchen upstands and gaps between new skirting and floors, on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

New build mastic around Clermiston
Clermiston is within about 2 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For new homes near South Gyle station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Clermiston, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Clermiston is about 3 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Jobs in Clermiston get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. 175 places in Edinburgh are on our list, from the larger towns to small villages.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Clermiston
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a tenement flat in Clermiston, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
