Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water marks on ceilings under bathrooms
- Tired sealant in let properties
- Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Baptist, any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building.

About our commercial sealant in Gallowstree Common
In showers and washrooms we use anti-fungal sanitary silicone, with a food-safe sealant by kitchen sinks where needed. Products include Arbo and Everbuild sealants, applied by ARBOMaster approved applicators. Common call-outs are for split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks and shower leaks reaching the floor below, across retail & leisure sites, hotel bathrooms and rental portfolios.
In a village or hamlet like Gallowstree Common, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.

Why deal with it now?
In a building with rooms above rooms, a failed shower seal can soon show on a ceiling below. That means a second room out of use and a repair to pay for. Resealing first is the smaller job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Gallowstree Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased. For a village or hamlet like Gallowstree Common, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the rooms and agreeing what’s needed.
- Working hours are agreed, including early starts or out-of-hours work where it can be arranged.
- Areas are protected and the failed sealant removed.
- Once dry, every joint is resealed and tooled.
- Housekeeping or site staff are told when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can you work around guests in a hotel?
Yes. We work through rooms in batches, keeping most rooms available. Housekeeping are told when each room can be let again.
What does commercial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
When can guests or staff use the shower again?
It depends on the product, but around 24 hours is typical. Housekeeping get the cure time for each room.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone
- Tell cleaning staff when each room can be used
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
Each room is handed back with its cure time, which is usually around 24 hours. Pass it on to housekeeping or cleaners so nobody showers or cleans the joint too early.
In a commercial building, a leak can quickly spread beyond one room: through floors, into ceilings and across into corridors. Early resealing keeps it from getting that far.
DIY versus a professional 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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
