For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
How we quote for commercial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Your questions about commercial sealant in Gifford
Can you do commercial sealant in Gifford?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Gifford is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Gifford?
Yes. Gifford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a single washroom, longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we visit and agree the scope, the sequence and the working hours.
- Every area is sheeted and the old silicone stripped out.
- The joints are degreased, treated and left to dry.
- New sealant suited to each area is applied and tooled.
- Each room is checked and handed back with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Ask for a quote
We quote each job on its own. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.

Common problems we fix in Gifford
Larger buildings move, and stud walls move more than solid ones. Joints between different materials take the strain.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Whole floors of tired en suites
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained
- Tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit
In and around Gifford, as anywhere, good commercial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Why deal with it now?
Replacing a whole washroom takes time, money and several trades. If the fittings are in good order, new sealant is often all it needs. If something else is wrong, we will say so. In an older home around Gifford, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Colour picked to suit the job

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Faulty shower valves and leaking traps
- Poor ventilation that keeps bringing mould back
- A shower tray, bath or basin that’s cracked or broken
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
