About our new build mastic in Murrayfield
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include second-fix sealing on new plots and new-build shower sealant that has already split, on show homes, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Murrayfield
Is new build mastic in Murrayfield guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Murrayfield for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Murrayfield is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Murrayfield?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we will quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
How it works
When we get to you, 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 for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a tenement in Murrayfield, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we quote for new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property

Common problems we fix in Murrayfield
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
Around Murrayfield, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- When the joint can take water or movement
New homes and floors in Murrayfield
Murrayfield is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For new homes near Haymarket station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Why act early in Murrayfield
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a tenement flat in Murrayfield, 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.
