What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Clouston need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we visit and agree the scope, the sequence and the working hours.
- Room by room, we protect the area and remove all the old sealant.
- We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
- We lay the right sealant for each area, with anti-fungal silicone in wet rooms.
- Each room is checked and handed back with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Is Clouston in your area for commercial sealant?

What should I tell you?

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you take on large, multi-room jobs?
Yes, we can. We work through big sites room by room or floor by floor, so only part of the building is affected at once.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
If you manage several properties in or around Clouston, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing a whole washroom takes time, money and several trades. When the fittings are sound, renewing the sealant brings it back with far less upheaval. If something else is wrong, we will say so. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Add sealant to your planned maintenance checks
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
- Keep extractor fans working and serviced
- Give housekeeping the cure time for every room
Daily cleaning with harsh chemicals shortens the life of any sealant. A mild cleaner and a soft cloth is enough for the joints.
A room that cannot be let or used is lost income. Catching faults early means they can be put right in a short window, before they become leaks that take the room out of use.
How we quote for commercial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Around Clouston, as everywhere, commercial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. For buildings such as Stenness Church, its kitchen and washroom sealant needs looking after like anywhere else.
