How we handle commercial sealant in Kaimes
For a rental portfolio, resealing between tenants keeps bathrooms and kitchens presentable. Several addresses can go on one quote. We work on student & care accommodation, hotel bathrooms and retail & leisure sites, and the jobs we see most are too many rooms to reseal without closing the building and water marks on ceilings under bathrooms.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. For buildings in Kaimes, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kaimes and across Edinburgh.

What else we do in Kaimes
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building, and the area is left clean. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Kaimes, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- First we visit and agree the scope, the sequence and the working hours.
- Each area is protected and the old sealant cut out completely.
- We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
- New sealant suited to each area is applied and tooled.
- Each room is checked and handed back with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
What commercial sealant looks like in Kaimes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, so landlords with several properties often need sealant work across them all.
Schools such as Gracemount High School are buildings too, and busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open.
Kaimes is about 3 miles south-east of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Kaimes gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Kaimes is one of 175 places in Edinburgh where we work for commercial sealant.
Jobs for commercial sealant in EH16 and EH17 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. Commercial sealant is available to properties on Tor Lane, Soutra Road and Mansion Lane. Close by, we work in Howden Hall (1 mile north), Alnwickhill (1 mile north), Southhouse (1 mile east), Gracemount (1 mile north-east) and Mortonhall (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Edinburgh (3 miles north-west), Leith (5 miles north), Bonnington (5 miles north), Greenside (4 miles north), Broughton (4 miles north) and Bellevue (4 miles north).

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kaimes
Landlords and letting agents in Kaimes can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Add sealant to your planned maintenance checks
- Plan resealing around quiet periods
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
Daily cleaning with harsh chemicals shortens the life of any sealant. A mild cleaner and a soft cloth is enough for the joints.
Water from a failed shower seal can travel: through floors, into ceilings and across into corridors. Dealing with the joint early stops that spread.
Your questions about commercial sealant in Kaimes
Do you work for landlords with property near Shawfair station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What guarantee comes with commercial sealant in Kaimes?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you start early or work out of hours?
Out-of-hours work and early starts can be arranged. Let us know your hours when you get in touch.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you reseal every bathroom in a hotel?
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?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Fire risk assessments or certification
- Poor ventilation that keeps bringing mould back
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
