Remedial sealant in Hermiston, done properly
In Hermiston, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. Common call-outs are for black mould underneath the bead and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints.
In and around a place like Hermiston, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do you need remedial sealant in Hermiston?
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Letting a property close to Edinburgh Park station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What affects the quote in Hermiston
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Why act early in Hermiston
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In an older home around Hermiston, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Hermiston homes and their sealant
Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, which we will point out.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
