Common questions from Barnton clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Spire Murrayfield Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do hotels near Barnton have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we 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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
How we handle washroom sealing in Barnton
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and urinal joints that look unhygienic, on showers, trays and wet room floors, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs. Whoever orders the work in Barnton, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
City hotels, restaurants and bars in Scotland need washrooms that look cared for and kitchens that clean easily. Washrooms get anti-mould sanitary silicone and kitchens hygienic sealant, food-safe where needed.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Why deal with it now?
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Note failing joints building by building
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
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.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
What we are called out for in Barnton
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We check for that first and tell you if another trade is needed.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
Student showers at universities like Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus, 2.7 miles south of Barnton, see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Barnton, and we’ll plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- 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.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Barnton is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 2.1 miles south-east of Barnton, need cleanable, sound silicone. En suites at hotels like Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Murrayfield (1.2 miles south-east of Barnton) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
