Washroom sealing in Boddam
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
About our washroom sealing in Boddam
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If you are dealing with urinal joints that look unhygienic and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms, we can help, on kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Boddam first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Boddam, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Common questions from Boddam clients
Do you work on the island where Boddam is?
Yes, Boddam is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
Must every washroom in our Boddam building shut while you work?
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.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote before we start.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Typically not. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
- Phasing around occupants
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Boddam
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Boddam before they leak.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Boddam
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Panel joints letting water behind
For a hall at a building such as Dunrossness Parish Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.
Comparing quotes
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How joint depth will be controlled
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Busy facilities in and around Boddam
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Boddam, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Work on Boddam has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. A room count and photos of each washroom help us bring enough sealant and plan the days.
Washrooms near Boddam get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.

As one of the bigger centres in the Shetland Islands, Boddam has a broad mix of commercial, public and industrial buildings, and we cover them all.

Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Condensation from failed extract fans
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Boddam, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints
