Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Note the date each area was done
- Keep extractor fans working and serviced
- Pass on the cure time to whoever cleans the rooms
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
Keep the extraction running and maintained. Where a room has no window, the fan is what dries it out, and that is what keeps mould away.
Signs to look for: black spots in the silicone, corners lifting, staining on the ceiling below or a musty smell. Any of these means the joints need attention.
Common problems we fix in Mountcastle
Wet rooms and accessible showers are designed for the whole floor to get wet, so floor-to-wall joints take standing water. Any split there can let water through quickly.
Look out for these signs:
- Repeated reseals that do not last
- Tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
- Leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Willowbrae Parish Church, halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

What commercial sealant looks like in Mountcastle
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Mountcastle, 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, so landlords with several properties often need sealant work across them all.
Managing a site like Portobello High School? Then busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open. If you let a flat or house near Brunstane station, several rental properties can be resealed on one programme.

Mountcastle: your questions answered
Is Mountcastle in your area for commercial sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Mountcastle is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brunstane station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours per area, with larger sites planned over several visits. Bigger jobs take longer.
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.
Can you match the sealant colour?
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 you reseal hotel rooms while we stay open?
Yes. Rooms are done a few at a time, keeping most rooms available. Each room comes back with its cure time for housekeeping.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of rooms. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Mountcastle, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by looking at the rooms and agreeing what’s needed.
- 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.
- We let your team know the cure time for every area.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
