FAQs for Woodside
Is Woodside within the area you cover?
Yes. Woodside is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is new build mastic in Woodside guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
How long does new build mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We’ll tell you when we quote.
New build mastic in Woodside, done properly
Across Woodside, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We are often asked to deal with cracks appearing as a new home settles and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Around smaller Scottish places like Woodside, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Record problems with dated pictures
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outdoor work around Woodside depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
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 new build mastic looks like in Woodside
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Woodside itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Woodside, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
