In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. For buildings near Achiltibuie, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.

Wet areas in Achiltibuie’s workplaces
Achiltibuie is within about 1 mile of the coast, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Achiltibuie is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner.
Around Achiltibuie, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
Achiltibuie is in Highland. Commercial clients in Achiltibuie use us for work on washrooms and wet areas. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places.
Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout IV26, whatever the building. We also cover Lochinver (10 miles north), Ullapool (10 miles south-east), Laide (13 miles south-west), Stoer (13 miles north) and Stor (14 miles north). Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully, so include the location in your enquiry.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building near Achiltibuie, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
IPS and cubicle panels
A panel that has already swollen won’t be fixed by sealant and we will point out any we see.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Floor edges in wet areas are where water most often escapes. Floor perimeters and sealant joints near drains are resealed.
Common questions from Achiltibuie clients
Is Achiltibuie too far out for you?
Not at all. Achiltibuie is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Achiltibuie?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.

- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
En suites at hotels like Summer Isles Hotel (to the north-west of Achiltibuie) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
What your quote should include
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How they’ll work around occupants
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
