How we handle washroom sealing in Boghead
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. If you’re dealing with failed sealant behind washroom basins and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Boghead, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Boghead tends to be seasonal, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. 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. For a building near Boghead, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Birkwood Castle?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Boghead off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What affects the price in Boghead
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
- Where the site is, with the postcode

What happens if it’s left?
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. Around smaller places like Boghead, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

What the job involves on each surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms in gyms and leisure centres stay wet and warm, so mould is a constant battle. Anti-mould sanitary silicone is the standard choice.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet floors are common in accessible showers and changing rooms, so their perimeter joints get close attention.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Report faulty extraction promptly
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme and more closures to manage.
Common problems we fix in Boghead
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use and trays shift slightly with each user. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- A new bead over an old one coming away
Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Birkwood Castle (2.7 miles south-east of Boghead) need cleanable, sound silicone.
