Keeping Balliveolan washrooms open while we work
Balliveolan is within about 3 miles of the coast, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. The west of Scotland, where Balliveolan is, gets more rain than the east. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
For buildings around Balliveolan, washrooms can be done in phases so some facilities are always open. Around Balliveolan, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.

Washroom sealing in Balliveolan, done properly
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels, so we look at them closely. Site teams most often ask us about sealant lifting along a tray edge and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, on urinals and WCs, vanity units and basins and IPS panels and cubicles. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Balliveolan from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For washroom work around Balliveolan, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. Jobs near Balliveolan are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists

Questions about Balliveolan
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Balliveolan?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Must every washroom in our Balliveolan building shut while you work?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
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.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Balliveolan can form part of a wider programme across Argyll and Bute.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Different surfaces, different methods
Urinals and WC pans
Urinal backs, troughs and slab joints are resealed with sanitary silicone once the whole of the old bead has gone.
IPS and cubicle panels
Panel systems meet walls, floors and vanity tops at sealed joints. They stop water reaching the panel boards.
