Borstal: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Borstal?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you cover smaller places like Borstal?
Yes, Borstal is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you reseal bathrooms across several rental properties?
Yes. We reseal bathrooms and kitchens in rented homes, and we can quote for several addresses at once.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you supply method statements and risk assessments?
We are fully insured, so start by telling us what your site asks for. Send over your requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
About our commercial sealant in Borstal
In showers and washrooms we use anti-fungal sanitary silicone, with a food-safe sealant by kitchen sinks where needed. We use sealants from Arbo and Everbuild, applied by ARBOMaster approved applicators. We work on welfare facilities, student & care accommodation and hotel bathrooms, and common reasons people get in touch are failed joints in office kitchens and tea points and leaks from showers into rooms or ceilings below.
In a smaller place like Borstal, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Advice
Commercial sealant around Borstal
Borstal has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like St William of Perth Roman Catholic Primary School? Then sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours. For landlords with property near Cuxton station, we can quote for one property or a whole portfolio of rentals.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Borstal
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What happens if it’s left?
Room by room, the work is quick: it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of rooms. Each area is then left to cure for the time we give you, so planning the order matters more than the hours on site. In a smaller place like Borstal, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

- Tiles coming off the wall
- Leaking pipework, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get split or lifting joints looked at early
- Keep extractor fans working and serviced
- Schedule work around occupancy
- Leave squeegees in busy showers
Extract fans need to work. Where a room has no window, the fan is what dries it out, and mould comes back faster without it.
Rooms out of use cost a hotel or landlord money. Catching faults early means they can be put right in a short window, instead of turning into a leak that closes the room.
Signs you need commercial sealant in Borstal
Wet rooms and accessible showers are designed for the whole floor to get wet, so floor-to-wall joints take standing water. Any split there can let water through quickly.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants
- Split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks
- Leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas
- Too many rooms to reseal without closing the building
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Matthew's, any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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. All the old material has to come out first.
