Related advice
What commercial sealant looks like in Duddingston
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Duddingston, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Duddingston has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Managing a site like Holy Rood High School? Then sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours. If you let a flat or house near Brunstane station, several rental properties can be resealed on one programme. For buildings such as Duddingston Kirk, halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
- Use mild cleaners on sealant, not bleach or abrasives
- Do not leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
Strong chemicals and scourers wear silicone out faster. Ask cleaners to use mild products and soft cloths on the sealant, with stronger products kept off the bead.
It’s easier to plan a programme than to react to failures. Rooms can be scheduled around occupancy and staff, rather than closed at short notice.
Why act early in Duddingston
Patching the worst rooms as complaints come in is hard to manage. A planned programme deals with every room in order, keeping disruption down and costs clear. Around Duddingston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Questions from Duddingston
Do you work in hotels near Duddingston?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Will you come out to Duddingston?
Yes, Duddingston is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
When can guests or staff use the shower again?
Plan for around 24 hours, or the cure time we give for that area. A room-by-room programme keeps only a few rooms out at once.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Can you work outside opening hours?
It can be arranged for many jobs. We will confirm the working hours with your quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
