Washroom sealing in Ballifeary, done properly
In a commercial washroom, sealant is normally the first thing to wear out. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. We work on vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are split or peeling sealant at shower trays and open joints at the base of cubicle panels. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ballifeary tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Travel to smaller places like Ballifeary is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Ballifeary: questions and answers
Can you work in a care home near Ballifeary with residents in?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of the Highlands & Islands?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
Yes. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. The work is phased around patients or residents.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ballifeary
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

Keeping Ballifeary washrooms open while we work
Ballifeary lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Ballifeary. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
Clinical washrooms at sites like Royal Northern Infirmary, less than half a mile north-east of Ballifeary, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible. For a campus such as University of the Highlands & Islands, which lies north-east of Ballifeary, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. Customer toilets in retail centres such as Eastgate Shopping Centre (1 mile north-east of Ballifeary) rarely close, so resealing is phased.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and photograph anything new.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Urinals and WCs

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
