Washroom sealing in Boswall
In a commercial washroom, sealant is typically the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. We work on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and users noticing mouldy joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Boswall it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Shops and offices at the foot of tenement blocks in Scottish cities often have compact staff washrooms and tea points. Small rooms that don’t dry out are where mould gets into sealant first, so it’s worth resealing before it spreads.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Commercial clients in Boswall
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Keeping Boswall washrooms open while we work
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Boswall, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. There are three care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Boswall. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.
Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of Edinburgh - Lauriston Campus (2.1 miles south of Boswall) are easiest to reseal during vacations. At a hospital like Western General Hospital (Edinburgh), 1 mile to the south-west of Boswall, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward. For buildings on a site such as Broompark Business Park, 0.6 miles north-west of Boswall, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week.
Boswall is about 1 mile north-west of Bellevue, in Edinburgh. Our applicators travel to Boswall for work on washrooms and wet areas. Boswall is one of 174 places in Edinburgh on our list for washrooms and wet areas.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe sealant.
Showers and trays
Shower joints in hotels, gyms and workplaces work hard. Every joint is stripped, degreased, dried and given a new bead.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
- Travel to remote or island sites
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Any specification or named product
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
