About our commercial sealant in Ravelston
In a hotel, office or washroom, failed sealant is more than an eyesore. Cleaners struggle with it, water gets through it and people notice it. Our applicators renew sealant across washrooms, welfare areas, kitchens and guest bathrooms. If you have failed joints in office kitchens and tea points and large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work, we can help, whatever the surface.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. For buildings in Ravelston, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Signs you need commercial sealant in Ravelston
Commercial bathrooms get far more use than domestic ones, 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
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and stained
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
- Large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put a squeegee in each shower
- Add sealant to your planned maintenance checks
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
- Log resealing so you know what’s due
Daily cleaning with harsh chemicals shortens the life of any sealant. Ask cleaners to use mild products and soft cloths on the sealant.
Watch for the warning signs: mould, splits, peeling corners or water marks downstairs. When you see them, it’s time to plan a reseal.
What commercial sealant looks like in Ravelston
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Ravelston, 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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Ravelston. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Columba's Parish Church, halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it. Schools such as The Mary Erskine School are buildings too, and busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open.

Near you in Ravelston
Typical jobs here are in homes near St George's School, Murrayfield Parish Church and Balgreen Primary School, among other places. Other local landmarks include Saughton Park (1.3 miles south), Roseburn Bar (0.8 miles south-east) and Gabrielle Keiller Library (0.8 miles east). Ravelston’s nearest station is Haymarket station, roughly 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.

What happens if it’s left?
A leaking shower in a hotel room or flat above can damage the ceiling below. That means a second room out of use and a repair to pay for. A reseal now avoids that. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Ravelston, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Common questions in Ravelston
Do you work in hotels near Ravelston?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you work for landlords with property near Haymarket station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
How long do rooms need to be out of use?
Most areas can be used after around 24 hours. We give a cure time for each area.
Is out-of-hours working possible?
In many cases. Let us know when the building is quietest, and we’ll see what can be arranged.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. 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 Ravelston, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- The first visit is a look round the site to agree the scope.
- We agree when we will work, with early or out-of-hours slots where they can be arranged.
- Areas are protected and the failed sealant removed.
- Joints are dried, then resealed and tooled neatly.
- Housekeeping or site staff are told when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Extraction that isn’t working, which needs an electrician or ventilation contractor
- Damaged sanitaryware that needs replacing
- Water coming from plumbing rather than sealant
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
