How we handle washroom sealing in Addiewell
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. We work on urinals and WCs, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles, and what we are called in for most is complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean. Most enquiries from Addiewell start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Travel to smaller places like Addiewell is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photographs and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and log what you find.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Wet areas in Addiewell’s workplaces
Addiewell is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
Clinical washrooms at sites like Tippethill House Hospital, 3.7 miles north-west of Addiewell, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible. Office toilets at parks like West Calder Business Centre, 1.4 miles east of Addiewell, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.

FAQs: Addiewell
Will the toilets in our Addiewell building be out of use?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Would you work within a site like Tippethill House Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
It depends on the joint. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote before we start.
Do you cover Addiewell?
Yes. We cover Addiewell. For a quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
