Greenside New Build Mastic
Specialist new build mastic for Greenside: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
About our new build mastic in Greenside
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference. Typical jobs include plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Greenside, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. 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. For a tenement in Greenside, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Your questions about new build mastic in Greenside
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover Greenside for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Greenside is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
How much does new build mastic cost in Greenside?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Quotes for new build mastic in Greenside
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
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.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
New build mastic in Greenside: local notes
Greenside 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Greenside, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Edinburgh Waverley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Greenside is about 1 mile north-east of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Anywhere in EH7, we cover new build mastic for homes and businesses. Greenside is one of 175 towns and villages in Edinburgh where we work for new build mastic.

What happens if it’s left?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Greenside, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
