How we handle commercial sealant in Sciennes
Bigger commercial jobs in Sciennes begin with a site walk to agree the scope, the order and the working hours. You then get one clear quote for the whole job. We are often asked to deal with split sealant where wet room floors meet walls and rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants, across hotel bathrooms, welfare facilities and rental portfolios.
Scotland has its own building regulations, with their own technical handbooks. For buildings in Sciennes, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Signs you need commercial sealant in Sciennes
Commercial buildings settle and move with temperature, and lightweight partitions flex more than masonry. The sealant between walls, trays and fittings absorbs that strain until it tears.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
- Tired sealant in let properties
- Joints that need doing before an inspection or audit
- Water marks on ceilings under bathrooms
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, sealant work can be quoted for a single flat or a whole portfolio.

Your questions about commercial sealant in Sciennes
Do you cover Sciennes for commercial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Sciennes is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work in hotels near Sciennes?
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.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What does commercial sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Sciennes, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- 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.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealant elsewhere.
- Rooms are handed back in order, each with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
How to get a quote

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Get split or lifting joints looked at early
- Include the silicone on your room checklists
- Put a squeegee in each shower
Each room is handed back with its cure time, which is generally around 24 hours. Pass it on to housekeeping or cleaners so the new sealant isn’t wetted or scrubbed too soon.
Signs to look for: 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 Sciennes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Sciennes, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, so landlords with several properties often need sealant work across them all.
For buildings such as St Catherine's Argyle Church, halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sciennes Primary School, busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open.
