DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Commercial sealant for homes and businesses in Houbie
Hotel bathrooms take hard daily use and constant cleaning, so sealant wears out faster than it would at home. We work through rooms in batches, keeping most rooms available. We work on student & care accommodation, rental portfolios and retail & leisure sites, and the jobs we see most are large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work and leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Houbie, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Houbie and across the Shetland Islands.

FAQs for Houbie
Do you cover Houbie for commercial sealant?
Yes, Houbie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Houbie?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. 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.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can you work around guests in a hotel?
Usually, yes. We agree the room order and times with your managers, and each room is handed back with a cure time.
Is commercial work guaranteed?
Yes. We’re fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and give a one-year guarantee on every job.
What happens if it’s left?
Before an inspection, audit or busy season, sealant is easy to overlook. Planning the work ahead means rooms are finished and cured in time, without a last-minute rush. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

What else we do in Houbie
What we are called out for in Houbie

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
- Rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants
- Joints that need doing before an inspection or audit

Commercial sealant around Houbie
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Houbie, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, so landlords with several properties often need sealant work across them all.
If you look after a building such as Fetlar Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be programmed around term times or opening hours.
Houbie is in the Shetland Islands. From the centre of Houbie to the outskirts, we cover commercial sealant for every kind of property. Across the Shetland Islands, we cover 63 places, and Houbie is one of them.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:

- Certifying fire stopping or building compliance
- Damaged sanitaryware that needs replacing

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites, depending on the amount of work. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Tell us the rooms, hours and site rules, and we will plan the programme.
- Tell us what paperwork your site needs, and we confirm what we can supply before we start.
- In each room, the old bead comes out and the joint is cleaned and treated.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealant elsewhere.
- Each finished area is checked with you and given a cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
