What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building. Parking in city streets around Alnwickhill can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We start by looking at the rooms and agreeing what’s needed.
- We agree when we will work, with early or out-of-hours slots where they can be arranged.
- Areas are protected and the failed sealant removed.
- Joints are dried, then resealed and tooled neatly.
- We let your team know the cure time for every area.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Why it’s worth doing now in Alnwickhill
Replacing a whole washroom takes time, money and several trades. If the fittings are in good order, new sealant is often all it needs. We will tell you if we find anything that needs another trade. For landlords in Alnwickhill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Common questions in Alnwickhill
Do you cover Alnwickhill for commercial sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Alnwickhill is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is commercial sealant in Alnwickhill guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you send RAMS and insurance details for our site?
We are fully insured, so start by telling us what your site asks for. Send over your requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can you work outside opening hours?
Out-of-hours work and early starts can be arranged. Let us know your hours when you get in touch.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What we are called out for in Alnwickhill
Quick fixes come back quickly. Sealing over old silicone, sealing wet joints or using the wrong product means the joint fails again soon.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
- Washrooms that need sorting before an inspection
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
For landlords with property near Shawfair station, several rental properties can be resealed on one programme.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
- Use mild cleaners on sealant, not bleach or abrasives
- Give housekeeping the cure time for every room
- Note the date each area was done
Include sealant in routine room inspections. Checking joints alongside other room checks catches failures before they leak.
Planned resealing is easier to manage than emergency repairs. Rooms can be scheduled around occupancy and staff, instead of rooms closing without warning.

In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, so landlords with several properties often need sealant work across them all.
