About washroom sealing in South Lanarkshire
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and kitchens and tea points, and what we are called in for most is sealant stained black around basins and showers and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms.
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.

Washroom sealing across South Lanarkshire: the area picture
From East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cambuslang to smaller places, South Lanarkshire has commercial washrooms in offices, schools, hotels, gyms and healthcare buildings. Mouldy or split sealant is cut out and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone, in phases so facilities stay open.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but external sealing anywhere in Scotland needs a dry joint and the right temperature, with a little give in the programme for wet or frosty days.
East Kilbride: For centre management at a site such as East Kilbride Shopping Centre, 0.6 miles east of East Kilbride, washroom work is planned around footfall. Customer toilets and staff facilities at retail sites such as Queensway Retail Park (to the north-west of East Kilbride) need sealant that stays clean under heavy use.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Share your site rules when you send details
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
Why act early?
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours which costs more to fix than a reseal.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Proof of insurance
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Different surfaces, different methods
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.
Healthcare and care settings
We phase washroom sealing so care areas are never left without facilities. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
A handful of photographs 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 a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
