What new build mastic looks like in Granton
Granton is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, 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.
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.

About our new build mastic in Granton
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Older tenement flats usually have timber floors on joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. For a flat in Granton, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For new build mastic in Granton, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Landlord and commercial work in Granton
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a city area like Granton, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Granton: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Granton?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for landlords with property near Haymarket station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Do you cover Granton?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Signs you need new build mastic in Granton
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
In and around Granton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
Why it’s worth doing now in Granton
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few photos and we’ll give you a straight answer. In a tenement flat in Granton, 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
