How washroom sealing works in the Orkney Islands
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels so they get particular attention. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are urinal joints that look unhygienic and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops.
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 your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.

Local landmarks in Kirkwall
In Kirkwall, that means premises near Orkney Library and Archive, Kirkwall Grammar School and Paterson Church and the streets around them. Other landmarks nearby include Balfour Hospital (0.5 miles south-west) and Bishop's Palace (less than half a mile south-west). Not far away are Gallow Ha' and Loomi Shun.
Washrooms and wet areas in the Orkney Islands
Washroom work across the Orkney Islands 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.
Our area covers every Scottish council area, the Orkney Islands included. Longer journeys are planned so each job is done in one go if at all possible. On the coastal side of the Orkney Islands, sea-facing elevations normally show failed joints first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.
Kirkwall: Hotels such as Orkney Hotel, less than half a mile west of Kirkwall, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room. On a healthcare site such as Balfour Hospital, 0.5 miles to the south-west of Kirkwall, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.
What affects the price in the Orkney Islands
Before we quote, we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode

Common problems we fix in the Orkney Islands
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen work can be phased around service. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Showers and trays
If a tray moves too much or is cracked, it needs attention first and we flag that beforehand.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Your questions answered
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote before we start.
