New build mastic in Comely Bank
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference. We are often asked to deal with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and sealant work across a run of new homes, across kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in Comely Bank.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Comely Bank and across Edinburgh.

New build mastic around Comely Bank
Comely Bank is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Comely Bank, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Haymarket station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Private landlords in Comely Bank 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.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on how much there is to do. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Comely Bank, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Is new build mastic in Comely Bank guaranteed?
All our work, in Comely Bank and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How much does new build mastic cost in Comely Bank?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before we start.
How long does new build mastic take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. Once that’s done, or if they will not put it right, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
