How the job changes by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Changing rooms and accessible showers often have wet floors so the edges are checked carefully.
Urinals and WC pans
We reseal around urinals and pans with a sanitary grade after the old bead and residue are removed.
Washroom sealing in Barnyards, done properly
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. We work on vanity units and basins, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors, and what we’re called in for most is panel joints letting water behind and users noticing mouldy joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Barnyards? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Travel to smaller places like Barnyards is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photographs and a room list and we will give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
Common questions from Barnyards clients
Will our hotel in Barnyards need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Will the toilets in our Barnyards building be out of use?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Keeping Barnyards washrooms open while we work
Barnyards sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles, and seaside hospitality usually has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. The area within 2 miles of Barnyards holds several hotels. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
Office toilets at parks like Bass Rock Business Park, 2.4 miles to the east of Barnyards, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows. For a hotel such as Commercial Hotel (under half a mile south-west of Barnyards), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Barnyards is about 13 miles east of Glenrothes, in Fife. We send applicators to Barnyards for washrooms and wet areas, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Barnyards is one of 132 places we cover in Fife for washrooms and wet areas. Our Dundee page has more on work in that area.

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Note failing joints building by building
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
