Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How the job changes by surface
Office washrooms & kitchens
Staff toilets, washrooms and kitchens get constant use, so we can work early or out of hours where that can be arranged. We reseal around basins, urinals, worktops and sinks.
Welfare facilities
Staff welfare areas are needed every shift. Work can be split into sections so part of the facilities stays in use.
Commercial buildings in Howgate
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, so landlords with several properties often need sealant work across them all.
Managing a site like Wellington School? Then sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Howgate Church, any kitchen and washrooms need the same sealant care as any other building.
Howgate is about 2 miles south-east of Penicuik, in Midlothian. Whether you are in the middle of Howgate or further out, commercial sealant is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Our Midlothian coverage runs to 33 places, and Howgate is one of them. Edinburgh is on our list too, about 9 miles from Howgate.
Every address in EH26 is within our area for commercial sealant, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you’re just outside Howgate, we cover Penicuik (2 miles north-west), Milton Bridge (3 miles north), Silverburn (3 miles north-west), Swanston (6 miles north) and Bonaly (6 miles north). Further out, we also cover Bonnyrigg (6 miles north-east), Dalkeith (8 miles north-east), Loanhead (5 miles north), Gorebridge (6 miles east), Newtongrange (7 miles north-east) and Mayfield (8 miles north-east).
Landmarks near Howgate
We work in homes and buildings around Penicuik High School, among other places. Well-known places in the area include Ravensneuk Castle (1.6 miles west) and Penicuik Paper Heritage Museum (1.1 miles north-west). Not far away are Turnhouse Hill and Edgelaw Reservoir.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
FAQs for Howgate
What guarantee comes with commercial sealant in Howgate?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Howgate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you supply method statements and risk assessments?
Let us know your site’s requirements. We will confirm what we can supply before work is booked.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you take on a whole building?
Yes, we can. Larger jobs are planned as a room-by-room or floor-by-floor programme, so only part of the building is affected at once.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
When can guests or staff use the shower again?
Follow the cure time we give you, which is generally around 24 hours. A room-by-room programme keeps only a few rooms out at once.
Why it’s worth doing now in Howgate
Room by room, the work is quick: the job takes a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased. After that, each area needs its cure time before use, so the programme is planned around cure times. Around Howgate, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- We agree the colour with you first
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than sealant
- Certifying fire stopping or building compliance
- A broken extractor fan behind the mould problem
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Welfare facilities
- Office washrooms & kitchens
- Rental portfolios
- Retail & leisure sites
- Hotel bathrooms
- Student & care accommodation
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
- Keep strong chemicals and scourers off the joints
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
- Do not leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
Squeegees in guest and staff showers help: less water sits on the joints between uses.
A room that cannot 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 else we do in Howgate
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Howgate 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. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We agree a programme with you: which rooms, in what order, at what times.
- We go through your site’s paperwork needs, such as RAMS, before work begins.
- 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.
- Rooms are handed back in order, each with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work
