About our washroom sealing in Ardtun

Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. Site teams most often ask us about failed sealant behind washroom basins and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Ardtun, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.

We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

General trades versus a specialist

There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

When to call us in Ardtun

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.

Look out for the following:

  • Stained sealant around pans and urinals
  • Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
  • Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
  • Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling

Halls linked to places like Kilvickeon Church host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
  • Proof of insurance
  • Who will actually carry out the work
  • The terms of the workmanship guarantee

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Looking after the joints

Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:

  • Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
  • Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
  • Keep extract fans working and vents clear
  • Inspect washroom sealant regularly

We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We’ll tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.

A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.

What we can’t put right

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:

  • Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
  • Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
  • Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint

If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Showers, trays and wet room floors

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Ardtun

Ardtun sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and seaside hospitality usually has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Ardtun is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Damp air means a poorly ventilated washroom rarely dries out fully, which is when mould gets into the sealant.

Washrooms near Ardtun get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.

Ardtun is about 29 miles west of Oban, in Argyll and Bute. Any commercial site in Ardtun is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Ardtun is one of 124 places we cover in Argyll and Bute.

Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout PA67, whatever the building. Close to Ardtun, our area also takes in Bunessan (1 mile south-west), Fionnphort (5 miles west), Baile Mòr (7 miles west), Ballygown (13 miles north) and Upper Kilchattan (16 miles south). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Questions we are asked in Ardtun

Do we have to close all our washrooms in Ardtun for resealing?

Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.

Is a smaller place like Ardtun outside your area?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Do you guarantee washroom sealing?

There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we carry public liability insurance.

Do you phase washroom resealing?

The work is phased so there are always facilities open. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time around your site hours and access windows.

Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?

We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.

How long before the toilets can reopen?

The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so there are always rooms open.

How long will the new sealant last?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

What affects the price in Ardtun

There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:

  • Removal of failed or old sealant
  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • Access and working height
  • Whether the work must be split into stages

Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

What to include in your enquiry

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:

  • Anything awkward about access or site hours
  • Any specification or named product
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • The postcode of the building

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Our process

We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Ardtun. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

  1. We agree which washrooms close and when.
  2. Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
  3. Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
  4. The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
  5. We confirm reopening times for each washroom.

Preparing the site

  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions
  • Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
