Washroom sealing in Na h-Eileanan Siar: how it works

Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. Site teams most often ask us about urinal joints that look unhygienic and failed sealant behind washroom basins, across vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms.

Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

  1. We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
  2. A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
  3. We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
  4. We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
  5. New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
  6. You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.

Washrooms and wet areas in Na h-Eileanan Siar

Across Na h-Eileanan Siar, hospitality kitchens and toilets need sealed joints that clean easily. Sanitary and hygienic sealants go in, food-safe where food could come into contact with it.

Across Na h-Eileanan Siar, outside sealant work is planned around the weather, with a little give in the programme for wet or frosty days. Na h-Eileanan Siar includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. We take that exposure into account when choosing the product.

Stornoway: If you manage an office at a site such as Gleann Seileach Business Park, 0.8 miles to the north-west of Stornoway, the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time. On a healthcare site such as Western Isles Hospital, 0.5 miles to the north of Stornoway, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.

How the quote is worked out

Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:

  • The size and state of each joint
  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits

Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

What we need to price the job

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:

  • How the joints are reached, and at what height
  • The site address and postcode
  • The product your specification calls for
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work

A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.

Common problems we fix in Na h-Eileanan Siar

Panels and vanity units move slightly in use and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.

Things that typically lead to an enquiry:

  • Open joints along basins and vanity units
  • Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
  • Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
  • Panel joints letting water behind

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

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.

Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

When something else is needed

Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:

  • Panel boards already damaged by water
  • Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
  • A dripping waste or valve behind a panel

Surface by surface

Urinals and WC pans

We reseal around urinals and pans with a sanitary grade once the whole of the old bead has gone.

IPS and cubicle panels

Panels flex slightly in use, so the sealant has to take that movement. We check fixings before sealing.

Na h-Eileanan Siar: questions and answers

Can one quote cover more than one building?

Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?

Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?

Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.

Do you need to see the site first?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.

Do you guarantee washroom sealing?

A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.

Does weather matter for sealant work?

It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.

Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?

Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
