Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Ackergillshore
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. If you have mould spotting along silicone joints and stained sealant around pans and urinals, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Ackergillshore, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Travel to smaller places like Ackergillshore is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photos and a room list and we will give a fixed quote.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- The size and state of each joint
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Ackergillshore, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
Questions we are asked in Ackergillshore
Will the toilets in our Ackergillshore building be out of use?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is a smaller place like Ackergillshore outside your area?
No. Places such as Ackergillshore are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used and signage stays in place until that time.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
Keeping Ackergillshore washrooms open while we work
Ackergillshore is within about 1 mile of the coast, and seaside hospitality normally has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. The east of Scotland, where Ackergillshore is, gets less rain than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Office washrooms on sites such as Lochshell Business Park (to the south of Ackergillshore) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open. Clinical washrooms at sites like Caithness General Hospital, 2.2 miles to the south of Ackergillshore, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible. At a school such as Wick High School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.
Ackergillshore is about 17 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. We cover commercial sites throughout Ackergillshore, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. We work across 256 places in Highland, large and small.
We cover the KW1 postcode districts.
