New build mastic for homes and businesses in D'Arcy
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 instead of bonding to the dust. If you’re dealing with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can help.
Work in a place like D'Arcy is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty

- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the amount of work. Outdoor work around D'Arcy depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Common questions in D'Arcy
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newtongrange station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to D'Arcy?
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?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover D'Arcy and the rest of Midlothian, along with the rest of our area.
What does new build mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.

When to call us in D'Arcy

The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
If you’ve bought a new home near Newtongrange station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
