Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
FAQs: Balgreen
Must a hotel around Balgreen close while you work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can work at a site such as Edinburgh Napier University fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, 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. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Keeping Balgreen washrooms open while we work
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Balgreen, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. The 2 miles around Balgreen include seven care or nursing homes. Assisted bathrooms and wet rooms in care settings need sanitary sealant that stays cleanable. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.
Welfare facilities in units on estates such as West Gorgie Park Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Balgreen) have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard. Student showers at universities like Edinburgh Napier University (1.2 miles south of Balgreen) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Spire Murrayfield Hospital (under half a mile west of Balgreen) need cleanable, sound silicone.
Balgreen is about 2 miles west of West End, in Edinburgh. Our applicators travel to Balgreen for work on washrooms and wet areas. Our Edinburgh coverage takes in 174 places.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint normally 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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
Why it’s worth doing now in Balgreen
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. In Balgreen, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why us?
- One number for every site we cover
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Fully insured
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Work on a big city site in Scotland usually involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
