Why deal with it now?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Outdoor work around Strathkinness depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- A tray or bath that is cracked
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Strathkinness
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Strathkinness homes and their sealant
Strathkinness is close to 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. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Rented homes near Leuchars station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Around Strathkinness, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
