Questions we’re asked in Black Crofts
Will the toilets in our Black Crofts building be out of use?
Normally only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Black Crofts?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
About our washroom sealing in Black Crofts
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 complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and open joints along basins and vanity units, across vanity units and basins, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs. Whoever orders the work in Black Crofts, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For washroom work around Black Crofts, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Send photographs and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When to bring in a specialist
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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Black Crofts can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Surface by surface
Healthcare and care settings
Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Records you need can be confirmed with the quote.
Changing rooms and gyms
We phase work so not every changing area is closed at once. Phasing follows your site hours and access windows.

When to call us in Black Crofts
Daily commercial cleaning wears sealant faster than people expect. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
En suites at hotels like Falls of Lora Hotel, 1.3 miles south-west of Black Crofts, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Comparing quotes
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Keeping Black Crofts washrooms open while we work
Black Crofts sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. The west of Scotland, where Black Crofts is, gets more rain than the east. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner.
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Ardchattan Parish Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Black Crofts before they leak.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
