Washroom sealing for Auchendinny sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Other services in Auchendinny
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme and more closures to manage.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Auchendinny is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let building users know which areas are affected

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Busy facilities in and around Auchendinny
The east of Scotland, where Auchendinny is, gets less rain than the west. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast. Auchendinny has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
Office washrooms on sites such as Eastfield Business Centre, 0.9 miles south-west of Auchendinny, are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open. For centre management at a site such as Straiton Retail Park, which lies north of Auchendinny, washroom work is planned around footfall.
Auchendinny is about 1 mile north-east of Penicuik, in Midlothian. Any commercial site in Auchendinny is covered. Across Midlothian, 34 places are covered, Auchendinny among them. There’s a separate page for Edinburgh, about 7 miles away.

Common problems we fix in Auchendinny
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Users noticing mouldy joints
Student showers at universities like University of Edinburgh - Easter Bush Campus, 1.4 miles north of Auchendinny, see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Questions we’re asked in Auchendinny
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Edinburgh - Easter Bush Campus?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do hotels near Auchendinny have to close for sealant work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How the job changes by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. They stop water reaching the panel boards.
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe sealant.
