Remedial sealant & repairs in Garmond, Aberdeenshire

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Garmond

A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface.

A bathroom in a place like Garmond gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.

Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.

1. First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
2. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
3. We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
4. The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
5. We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.

How we quote for remedial sealant

Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

• Whether there’s mould to deal with
• Any working-time requirements on site
• How many areas need sealing
• Which sealant suits the joint

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

• If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
• Roughly how big the job is
• Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
• Whether it has been sealed before

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:

• A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
• Tiles that have come away from the wall
• Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint

If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we seal

• Shrunken worktop sealant
• Failed movement joints
