New build mastic for homes and businesses in Newton Village
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. We work on show homes, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are gaps behind new kitchen upstands and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
For a place like Newton Village, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Newton Village and across Midlothian.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.

What affects the quote in Newton Village
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Newton Village depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
What we’re called out for in Newton Village

Around Newton Village, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

New homes and floors in Newton Village
Newton Village is close to 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, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you’ve bought a new home near Shawfair station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
