Commercial sealant in Kirkwall: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Kirkwall, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, and keeping sealant sound across a portfolio is part of that.
If you look after a building such as Kirkwall Grammar School, busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open.
Kirkwall is in the Orkney Islands. Every kind of property in Kirkwall can book us for commercial sealant. The work is guaranteed for a year. Our area takes in 51 places across the Orkney Islands.
We cover every part of KW15 for commercial sealant. Commercial sealant is available to properties on Main Street, Sommerville Square and High Street. Being close to the A960 and A961, Kirkwall is simple for us to get to. Neighbouring places we cover for commercial sealant include Blackhill (1 mile west), Greenigoe (3 miles south-west), Balfour (4 miles north-east), Tankerness (4 miles east) and Toab (5 miles south-east). Being one of the Orkney Islands’s larger places, Kirkwall has every kind of property, from flats to offices. If you are somewhere remote, a little more planning is needed, so let us know when you get in touch.
Around Kirkwall
Around Kirkwall, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Orkney Library and Archive, among other places. Well-known places in the area include Balfour Hospital (0.5 miles south-west) and Bishop's Palace (within half a mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Gallow Ha' and Loomi Shun.
Common problems we fix in Kirkwall
In office kitchens and tea points, joints are wet and wiped all day, and grease and cleaning sprays break down sealant. The worktop and sink edges generally fail first.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Too many rooms to reseal without closing the building
- Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
- Repeated reseals that do not last
- Tired sealant in let properties
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Paterson Church, halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.

How we quote for commercial sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Kirkwall: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with commercial sealant in Kirkwall?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you take on hotel work around Kirkwall?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you work in Kirkwall?
We do. Our applicators work in Kirkwall.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
How soon can a room be used after resealing?
Plan for around 24 hours, or the cure time we give for that area. Planning the order of rooms keeps that downtime manageable.
Leave it or put it right?
Guests and staff judge a building by its bathrooms. Mouldy silicone looks unhygienic, however hard housekeeping work, and cleaning rarely puts it right. Replacing it does. Scottish weather finds any gap, and in a town like Kirkwall, failed outside joints soon let damp into walls. Indoors, failed sealant lets water into floors and ceilings.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Encourage users to squeegee shower walls
- Check extract fans are actually running
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
Make it easy for staff to flag a failing joint. Catching one split early can save a leak later.
Mould in shared washrooms gets noticed and talked about. The longer it’s left, the deeper it grows into the silicone, and only replacement fixes it.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Tiles coming off the wall
- A shower tray, bath or basin that’s cracked or broken
- Extraction that is not working, which needs an electrician or ventilation contractor
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkwall
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites. Parking around Kirkwall is rarely difficult, though older streets in the centre can be tight. For flats, mention the shared stair or door entry system.
- We agree a programme with you: which rooms, in what order, at what times.
- Tell us what paperwork your site needs, and we confirm what we can supply before work begins.
- In each room, the old bead comes out and the joint is cleaned and treated.
- We reseal with the right product for each joint.
- Rooms are handed back in order, each with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
