What else we do in New Town
Commercial sealant around New Town
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like New Town, 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, so landlords with several properties often need sealant work across them all.
If you look after a building such as London Street Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be programmed around term times or opening hours. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Andrew's and St George's West Church, its kitchen and washroom sealant needs looking after like anywhere else.
New Town is about 1 mile north of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Whether you’re in the middle of New Town or further out, commercial sealant is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. We cover 175 towns and villages across Edinburgh, large and small.
Every address in EH3, EH1 and EH2 is within our area for commercial sealant. Commercial sealant is available to properties on York Lane, Meuse Lane and Canon Lane and the roads around them. We also cover the places around New Town: Bellevue (1 mile north-east), Broughton (1 mile east), Canonmills (1 mile north), Greenside (1 mile east) and Gayfield (1 mile east). Further out, we also cover Queensferry (8 miles west), South Portobello (3 miles east), Southhouse (4 miles south-east), Gilmerton (4 miles south-east), Slateford (3 miles south-west) and Gracemount (4 miles south-east).
Around New Town
We work in homes and buildings around Stockbridge public library, Drummond Community High School and King George V Park, among other places. You’ll also find St Cuthbert's Church (0.5 miles south-west) and The Standing Order pub (within half a mile south). There’s a railway station in New Town itself: Edinburgh Waverley station. Nearby you’ll also find Royal Public Dispensary of Edinburgh (0.6 miles south-east) and Waverley Mall (less than half a mile south-east). Not far away are The New Leaf Co-op and Salisbury Crags.
What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Faulty shower valves and leaking traps
- Fire risk assessments or certification
- Cracked trays or baths rather than failed joints
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Rental portfolios
- Retail & leisure sites
- Welfare facilities
- Student & care accommodation
- Office washrooms & kitchens
- Hotel bathrooms
What affects the quote in New Town
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Log resealing so you know what’s due
- Ask cleaners to go gently on the silicone
- Keep extractor fans working and serviced
- Include the silicone on your room checklists
Daily cleaning with harsh chemicals shortens the life of any sealant. A mild cleaner and a soft cloth is enough for the joints, with stronger products kept off the bead.
In a commercial building, a leak can quickly spread beyond one room: into ceilings below, walls next door and service voids. Early resealing keeps it from getting that far.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours per room, so whole buildings are phased, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a tenement in New Town, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We walk the site with you and agree the rooms, the order and the 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
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Advice
Signs you need commercial sealant in New Town
A hotel shower or office washroom is used many times a day, and they’re cleaned with strong products every day. So the silicone ages faster than it would at home.
The most common problems we see are:
- Tired sealant in let properties
- Split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks
- Shower leaks reaching the floor below
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, sealant work can be quoted for a single flat or a whole portfolio.
Before you book anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Landlord and commercial work in New Town
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why act early in New Town
Fixing rooms one complaint at a time is the slow way. A planned programme works through every room, keeping disruption down and costs clear. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in New Town, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
