FAQs for Burray Village
Is Burray Village in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Burray Village is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Burray Village?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How long does the work take?
It takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Remedial sealant in Burray Village
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.

The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a place like Burray Village, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints

What else we do in Burray Village
Why it’s worth doing now in Burray Village
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t normally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Burray Village
Burray Village is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Around Burray Village, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Burray Village itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
