Gilmerton questions
What guarantee comes with commercial sealant in Gilmerton?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shawfair station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you supply method statements and risk assessments?
Let us know which documents your site needs, such as method statements, risk assessments or insurance details, and we will confirm what we can provide when we quote.
Can you reseal hotel rooms while we stay open?
Yes, in most cases. Each visit covers an agreed batch of rooms, working around check-out and check-in where possible.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Gilmerton and the rest of Edinburgh, along with the rest of our area.
About our commercial sealant in Gilmerton
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 early starts or out-of-hours working can be arranged where it helps. We work on retail & leisure sites, welfare facilities and student & care accommodation, and people most often call us about joints that need doing before an inspection or audit and mouldy washroom sealant that staff and guests notice.
Scotland has its own building regulations, with their own technical handbooks. For buildings in Gilmerton, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Different surfaces, different methods
Welfare facilities
Before a health and safety visit or audit, tired sealant is easy to sort. Let us know when it needs to be done and we’ll schedule around it, cure time included.
Retail & leisure sites
Shops, gyms, leisure centres and restaurants all have joints that need sealing. We can plan around opening hours.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
Do you need commercial sealant in Gilmerton?
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Mouldy washroom sealant that staff and guests notice
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
If you let a flat or house near Shawfair station, we can quote for one property or a whole portfolio of rentals.

Leave it or put it right?
Patching the worst rooms as complaints come in is hard to manage. A planned programme works through every room, keeping disruption down and costs clear. In a tenement flat in Gilmerton, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building, and the area is left clean. Inside a flat in Gilmerton, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We walk the site with you and agree the rooms, the order and the hours.
- Each area is protected and the old sealant cut out completely.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
