How we handle remedial sealant in Craigiebuckler
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We’re often asked to deal with products that weren’t meant for the joint and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath, and that’s as true in Craigiebuckler as anywhere in the city.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Craigiebuckler: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Craigiebuckler?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aberdeen station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
Then we explain what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Craigiebuckler and the rest of Aberdeen.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Why deal with it now?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Craigiebuckler, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We’ll tell you what we find.
