About washroom sealing in Aberdeen

Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. Site teams most often ask us about stained sealant around pans and urinals and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, across IPS panels and cubicles, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs.

Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us.

  1. We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
  2. The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
  3. Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
  4. Joints are degreased and dried.
  5. New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
  6. Rooms reopen after the cure time.

What you will pay

Commercial washrooms across Aberdeen

Washroom work across Aberdeen runs to many timetables: term dates in schools, infection-control rules in healthcare, opening hours in retail. We fit the work to the building’s own calendar.

Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with building warrants from the local authority verifier. Our part is sealing to the specification, whatever the building. Parts of Aberdeen lie on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We take that exposure into account when choosing the product.

Aberdeen: Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of Aberdeen - Foresterhill Campus (0.5 miles west of Aberdeen) are easiest to reseal during vacations. Halls linked to places like Rutherford Church And Church Hall host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

When it isn’t the sealant

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:

  • Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
  • Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
  • Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes

How the quote is worked out

These are the things that shape the price:

  • The size and state of each joint
  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • Any access equipment needed
  • Travel to remote or island sites

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.

Details that help us quote

To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:

  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
  • The postcode of the building
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • Your programme or deadline

Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.

Different surfaces, different methods

Healthcare and care settings

Assisted bathrooms and accessible toilets get heavy use, so their joints often need renewing sooner.

Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints

Changing rooms and accessible showers often have wet floors, so their perimeter joints get close attention.

Common problems we fix in Aberdeen

Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They don’t stand up to constant water and they discolour and fail early.

Common reasons buildings call us in:

  • Sealant stained black around basins and showers
  • Failed sealant behind washroom basins
  • Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
  • Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Aberdeen: questions and answers

Is there a guarantee on the work?

Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?

Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

Does weather matter for sealant work?

Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.

Can washrooms stay open while you work?

Only the area we’re working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.

Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?

Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?

Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.

Can you handle several sites?

Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
