New build mastic in Woodside, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and shower seals failing in the first year or two, on windows & doors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in Woodside.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Woodside and everywhere else we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
What affects the quote in Woodside
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Inside a flat in Woodside, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- 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
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work

Why deal with it now?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a tenement flat in Woodside, 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.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Joints and finishes in Woodside homes
Woodside is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Woodside, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Woodside
Is Woodside in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Woodside is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dundee 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 give you a clear price.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will tell you when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What we are called out for in Woodside
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
The most common problems we see are:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
If you’ve bought a new home near Dundee station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
