New-build mastic & snagging in North Queensferry, Fife

- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.

About our new build mastic in North Queensferry
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you have kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and internal frame sealant that has split, we can help, on kitchens, plot handovers and show homes alike.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

New build mastic in North Queensferry: local notes
North Queensferry is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around North Queensferry, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed

North Queensferry questions
Will you come out to North Queensferry?
Yes. North Queensferry is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is North Queensferry in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, North Queensferry is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope and we will quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Outside jobs in North Queensferry need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
