About our washroom sealing in Blackhall
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve open joints at the base of cubicle panels and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, on IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and vanity units and basins. Searching for sealant specialists in Blackhall? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Shops and offices at the foot of tenement blocks in Scottish cities often have compact staff washrooms and tea points. Compact, poorly ventilated rooms are hard on sealant, so it’s worth resealing before it spreads.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Blackhall as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Blackhall, and we’ll plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Blackhall
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Blackhall, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Blackhall is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
For a store at a site such as Craigleith Retail Park, under half a mile east of Blackhall, the staff room and customer toilets can be resealed in quiet periods. Toilets at colleges like Edinburgh College - Granton Campus, 1.3 miles to the north of Blackhall, take heavy use from students and staff alike. Student showers at universities like University of Edinburgh - Lauriston Campus, 2.3 miles south-east of Blackhall, see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins and vanity tops
Vanity tops and basins are splashed all day, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Kitchens and tea points
Worktop, sink and splashback joints in tea points take water and food. Sealed joints leave no gaps for food and dirt.
What affects the price in Blackhall
What shapes the price:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The site address and postcode

- A wide shot and a close-up of the area

Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Your questions answered
Will you work in a care home in Blackhall without moving residents out?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Western General Hospital (Edinburgh)?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can weather delay the job?
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.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. In Blackhall, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
