How we handle new build mastic in Woodlands
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on kitchens, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are frame joints opening as the plaster dries and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Woodlands and everywhere else we cover.

What affects the quote in Woodlands
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
If you’re in Woodlands and need new build mastic, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Why act early in Woodlands
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Why book with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
New homes and floors in Woodlands
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For jobs in and around Woodlands, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Woodlands, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
