About our commercial sealant in Forgewood
Commercial work is planned around the building, not the other way round. Rooms can be done one at a time, floor by floor or in batches, and out-of-hours work or early starts can be arranged where it helps. We work on rental portfolios, office washrooms & kitchens and student & care accommodation, and the jobs we see most are shower leaks reaching the floor below and failed joints in office kitchens and tea points.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Forgewood, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Forgewood and across North Lanarkshire. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in Forgewood need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We walk the site with you and agree the rooms, the order and the hours.
- Room by room, we protect the area and remove all the old sealant.
- Joints are cleaned, treated for mould and dried.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealants elsewhere.
- We check every room and give its cure time for housekeeping.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
What commercial sealant looks like in Forgewood
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, and keeping sealant sound across a portfolio is part of that.
Schools such as Braidhurst High School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant can be programmed around term times or opening hours. For buildings such as Dalziel North Parish Church, halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use mild cleaners on sealant, not bleach or abrasives
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
- Report broken fans quickly
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
Extract fans need to work. Where a room has no window, the fan is what dries it out, and that is what keeps mould away.
A room that can’t 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 we’re called out for in Forgewood
Wet rooms and accessible showers are designed for the whole floor to get wet, so floor-to-wall joints take standing water. A failed joint there can soon let water into the floor or walls.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant failing again soon after quick repairs
- Leaks from showers into rooms or ceilings below
- Mouldy washroom sealant that staff and guests notice
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained
If you let a flat or house near Motherwell station, we can quote for one property or a whole portfolio of rentals.

Forgewood: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Forgewood?
Yes. Forgewood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Motherwell station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you work around guests in a hotel?
Yes, in most cases. We agree a batch of rooms for each visit.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
