Washroom sealing in Ardlui
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. Site teams most often ask us about sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops, across urinals and WCs, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Ardlui is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Ardlui
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Questions about Ardlui
Is Ardlui too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Ardlui for resealing?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. That’s what makes the new joint last.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Ardlui can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Argyll and Bute.

When to call us in Ardlui
Low-level joints get hit by mop buckets, cleaning trolleys and feet, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
For buildings around Ardlui, washrooms can be done in phases so some facilities are always open.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ardlui
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and your cleaning team stops chasing it. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Ardlui. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
