Coloured sealant for Woodside sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How we handle coloured sealant in Woodside
We can agree a short trial length before the full run. Sealant can look slightly different once it has cured, and again in different light, so approving a sample on site is worth doing. Let us know who signs off colour, and we will fit the sample into the programme. Most enquiries involve fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification and standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish, across hotel bathrooms and public areas, shop-fit joinery and counters and powder-coated and anodised frames. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Woodside, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In Scotland’s cities, commercial premises are packed closely, from stone-fronted offices to shops on the ground floor of tenement blocks. Shop units under tenements can bring the property factor into the picture when the work touches shared parts.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions about Woodside
Does a coastal location like Woodside affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Must a hotel around Woodside close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is coloured sealant weaker than white?
Colour is a choice within a product’s range, not a separate type of sealant. Preparation, backing and tooling are what make it last, whatever the colour.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Will the colour fade over time?
It can, to a degree. How much depends on the product, the colour and the exposure.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Will the sealant be an exact match to our finish?
No, not always. We choose the nearest standard colour and can agree a sample bead first.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

Coloured sealant around Woodside: what changes locally
Woodside lies within about 2 miles of the sea. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Sea-facing elevations are usually where failed joints show first. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Woodside. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let.
Shop fits at places like Kingsway West Retail Park, 1.1 miles to the west of Woodside, leave counters, frontages and floor edges where the sealant colour is part of the finish. Premises within reach of Dundee station, 1.6 miles to the south of Woodside, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

Common problems we fix in Woodside
On some projects the colour was never agreed, or a different product was swapped in. It seals fine but catches the eye, so someone asks for it to be changed.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
- Patch repairs in several different colours
For a hotel such as Hotel Indigo Dundee, which lies south of Woodside, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
