Common questions in Clovenstone
Is new build mastic in Clovenstone guaranteed?
All our work, in Clovenstone and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wester Hailes station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you cover Clovenstone?
Yes. We cover Clovenstone and the rest of Edinburgh. To book, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Clovenstone
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. If you’re dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can help, on skirting & floors, show homes and windows & doors alike.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. In Clovenstone, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Clovenstone
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. For landlords in Clovenstone, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the tidy-up.

- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- 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.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Record problems with dated photos
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
When to call us in Clovenstone
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
For new homes near Wester Hailes station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
