New homes and floors in Saughtonhall
Saughtonhall 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.
For new homes near Slateford station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Saughtonhall is about 2 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Saughtonhall gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our Edinburgh coverage runs to 175 places, and Saughtonhall is one of them.

How we handle new build mastic in Saughtonhall
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly. We work on plot handovers, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and second-fix sealing on new plots.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Parking in city streets around Saughtonhall can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work

What affects the quote in Saughtonhall
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Why deal with it now?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few photos and we will give you a straight answer. In a tenement flat in Saughtonhall, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What we’re called out for in Saughtonhall
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
Around Saughtonhall, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Saughtonhall: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Saughtonhall?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Slateford station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
