Landlords, agents and businesses in Slateford
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Landlords and letting agents in Slateford can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a single washroom, longer for a whole building. In a city area like Slateford, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We start with a site walk to agree the rooms and the timing.
- Every area is sheeted and the old silicone stripped out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Slateford
A leaking shower in a hotel room or flat above can damage the ceiling below. Then two rooms are out of action, not one. A reseal now avoids that. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Slateford, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

How we quote for commercial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode

FAQs for Slateford
Do you work in hotels near Slateford?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Slateford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Can you send RAMS and insurance details for our site?
Tell us what paperwork your site needs, for example RAMS or insurance details, and we’ll confirm what we can provide when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Signs you need commercial sealant in Slateford
Internal washrooms and en suites without a window rely entirely on extraction, so if the fan is weak, steam lingers and the sealant stays damp. That is when black mould sets into the bead.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms
- Joints that need doing before an inspection or audit
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
- Silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor
Managing a site like Craiglockhart Primary School? Then busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open.
