New build mastic for homes and businesses in Meadowbank
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked caulk along new skirting and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Meadowbank, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Meadowbank, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
What new build mastic looks like in Meadowbank
Meadowbank is within about 1 mile 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Meadowbank, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Edinburgh Waverley station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
