Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Alva
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, accessible toilets and changing rooms and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are split or peeling sealant at shower trays and users noticing mouldy joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Alva tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller Scottish places like Alva, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant typically can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Clackmannanshire. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Panel boards already damaged by water
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins

Wet areas in Alva’s workplaces
Alva is within about 3 miles of the coast, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Alva is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Pupil toilets at schools like Alva Academy take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal. En suites at hotels like Johnstone Arms Hotel (less than half a mile east of Alva) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Alva is about 2 miles north of Alloa, in Clackmannanshire. Anywhere in FK12, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Clackmannanshire, 13 places are covered, Alva among them. There’s a separate page for Edinburgh, roughly 27 miles from Alva.

Questions about Alva
Is Alva too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work in a care home near Alva with residents in?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
We do. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Alva is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
To price the job, we consider:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
- The size and state of each joint
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline
For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. You can also send details through our quote form.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Alva
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
For an occupier at a site such as Industrial Estate, which lies east of Alva, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
