How we handle commercial sealant in Hoy
Commercial work is planned around the building, not the other way round. We can work room by room, floor by floor or in batches, and out-of-hours work or early starts can be arranged. We work on retail & leisure sites, office washrooms & kitchens and welfare facilities, and the jobs we see most are leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas and leaks from showers into rooms or ceilings below.
Work in a place like Hoy is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hoy
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What else we do in Hoy
Can I do it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Commercial buildings in Hoy
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Hoy, 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, and keeping sealant sound across a portfolio is part of that.
Around Hoy, as everywhere, commercial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Hoy itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Hoy questions
Will you come out to Hoy?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Hoy in your area for commercial sealant?
Yes, Hoy is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can you supply method statements and risk assessments?
We are fully insured, so start by telling us what your site asks for. Send over your requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Can you reseal hotel rooms while we stay open?
Yes. We work through rooms in batches, so only a few are out of use at once. Each room comes back with its cure time for housekeeping.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What the job involves on each surface
Welfare facilities
Before a health and safety visit or audit, tired sealant is easy to sort. Tell us your deadline and we’ll schedule around it, cure time included.
Office washrooms & kitchens
Kitchen and tea point joints are degreased and resealed, using a food-safe sealant by sinks where it’s needed.
What happens if it’s left?
A leaking shower in a hotel room or flat above can damage the ceiling below. Then two rooms are out of action, not one. A reseal now avoids that. In an older home around Hoy, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Log resealing so you know what’s due
- Keep strong chemicals and scourers off the joints
- Get split or lifting joints looked at early
- Give housekeeping the cure time for every room
Extract fans need to work. Where a room has no window, the fan is what dries it out, and that is what keeps mould away.
Black sealant in a staff washroom or guest bathroom draws complaints. Left long enough, it spreads through the bead, and only replacement fixes it.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased. Around Hoy, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- The first visit is a look round the site to agree the scope.
- Working hours are agreed, including early starts or out-of-hours work where it can be arranged.
- Each area is protected and stripped of old sealant.
- Joints are dried, then resealed and tooled neatly.
- Housekeeping or site staff are told when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
