Landlord and commercial work in Ae
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Commercial sealant for homes and businesses in Ae
Hotel bathrooms take hard daily use and constant cleaning, so sealant wears out faster than it would at home. We work through rooms in batches, so only a few are out of use at once. Typical jobs include split sealant where wet room floors meet walls and whole floors of tired en suites, on student & care accommodation, office washrooms & kitchens and welfare facilities.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Ae, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Hotel bathrooms
Guest bathrooms are resealed room by room or in batches, so most rooms stay available. Each room is handed back with its cure time for housekeeping.
Rental portfolios
For a portfolio, we can quote several addresses together.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Commercial sealant around Ae
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, and keeping sealant sound across a portfolio is part of that.
Around Ae, as everywhere, commercial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the cost of commercial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Do you need commercial sealant in Ae?
A rushed reseal between guests rarely lasts. New silicone over old, joints that weren’t dried, or an unsuitable product means the joint fails again soon.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants
- Large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work
Whether the job is in Ae itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee

Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How long do rooms need to be out of use?
Most areas can be used after around 24 hours. Each room is handed back with the cure time for the product used.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Is commercial work guaranteed?
Yes. We are fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and give a one-year guarantee on every job.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell cleaning staff when each room can be used
- Schedule work around occupancy
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
- Keep strong chemicals and scourers off the joints
Ask staff to report splits or lifting sealant early. A small gap caught quickly is a short fix, and if anything looks wrong, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A room that cannot be let or used is lost income. Catching faults early means they can be put right in a short window, instead of turning into a leak that closes the room.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building in most cases. For a place like Ae, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start with a site walk to agree the rooms and the timing.
- Room by room, we protect the area and remove all the old sealant.
- We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealants elsewhere.
- Each room is checked and handed back with its cure time.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
