When something else is needed

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler or builder
  • Assessing what fire stopping a building needs
  • 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 you book.

What we seal

  • Rental portfolios
  • Retail & leisure sites
  • Student & care accommodation

Commercial sealant in Shawlands

Staff facilities can’t be out of action for long. Early starts and out-of-hours work can be arranged to keep disruption down. Each area is handed back with its cure time. If you have too many rooms to reseal without closing the building and mouldy washroom sealant that staff and guests notice, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. For a building in Shawlands, the job might be washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

What the job involves on each surface

Rental portfolios

Between tenancies is a good time to reseal, ready for the next tenant.

Student & care accommodation

In care settings, we agree the order and timings with staff, with each bathroom handed back with its cure time.

Commercial sealant around Shawlands

In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, and keeping sealant sound across a portfolio is part of that. Shawlands has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.

Community buildings like Shawlands Trinity Church and Halls are part of the picture too: its kitchen and washroom sealant needs looking after like anywhere else. For landlords with property near Shawlands station, we can quote for one property or a whole portfolio of rentals. If you look after a building such as Shawlands Academy, sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.

Should I try it myself first?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.

What happens if it’s left?

Replacing a whole washroom takes time, money and several trades. When the fittings are sound, renewing the sealant brings it back with far less upheaval. If something else is wrong, we will say so. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Shawlands, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shawlands

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.

How to look after the new joints

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Add sealant to your planned maintenance checks
  • Put a squeegee in each shower
  • Do not leave a failed joint until the next refurbishment
  • Check extract fans are actually running

Daily cleaning with harsh chemicals shortens the life of any sealant. Ask cleaners to use mild products and soft cloths on the sealant.

It’s easier to plan a programme than to react to failures. We can fit the work around bookings, shifts and opening hours, instead of rooms closing without warning.

How it works

We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites. Inside a flat in Shawlands, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.

  1. The first visit is a look round the site to agree the scope.
  2. We agree when we’ll work, with early or out-of-hours slots where they can be arranged.
  3. Areas are protected and the failed sealant removed.
  4. Joints are dried, then resealed and tooled neatly.
  5. We let your team know the cure time for every area.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Clear the area around the work

Your questions about commercial sealant in Shawlands

Do you cover Shawlands for commercial sealant?

Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Shawlands is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Do you work in hotels near Shawlands?

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.

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.

What sealant do you use?

We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.

Do you provide RAMS?

Tell us what your site asks contractors for. We will confirm what we can supply before work is booked.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Can I do it myself?

Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
