Questions we’re asked in Ardgay
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Migdale Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will all the washrooms in our Ardgay building be closed at once?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in most cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.

When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How we handle washroom sealing in Ardgay
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. Site teams most often ask us about shower tray joints that have opened up and panel joints letting water behind, across vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ardgay it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as Ardgay, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common problems we fix in Ardgay
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
For a site such as Migdale Hospital (1 mile north-east of Ardgay), sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.
What to look for in a quote
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Busy facilities in and around Ardgay
Ardgay sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. The west of Scotland, where Ardgay is, gets more rain than the east. Damp air means a poorly ventilated washroom rarely dries out fully, which is when mould gets into the sealant.
Washrooms near Ardgay get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.
Ardgay is about 28 miles north-west of Nairn, in Highland. Anywhere in IV24, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, Ardgay among them.
Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout IV24, whatever the building. Buildings on Church Street, Oykel Place and Carron Place are within our area for washrooms and wet areas. If your building is just outside Ardgay, we cover Lower Gledfield (1 mile north-west), Bonar Bridge (1 mile north-east), Spinningdale (5 miles east), Whiteface (7 miles east) and Edderton (8 miles south-east). Bigger towns within reach include Tain (12 miles south-east), Alness (14 miles south), Dornoch (12 miles east), Invergordon (15 miles south-east) and Evanton (15 miles south). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and photograph anything new.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
