How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a building near Braehoulland, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
Washroom sealing in Braehoulland, done properly
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. Most enquiries involve resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, across accessible toilets and changing rooms, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Braehoulland from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Braehoulland is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photos and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What else we do in Braehoulland
How the job changes by surface
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.
Changing rooms and gyms
We phase work so not every changing area is closed at once. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What we’re called out for in Braehoulland
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They don’t stand up to constant water and they discolour and fail early.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- A new bead over an old one coming away
Phased work lets washrooms in and around Braehoulland stay partly open while sealant is renewed.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed

Commercial washrooms in Braehoulland
Braehoulland sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and seaside hospitality usually 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. Work on Braehoulland has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Photos and a room list let us plan the visit around the crossings.
Washrooms near Braehoulland get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.
Braehoulland is about 28 miles north-west of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Across the ZE2 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 63 places across the Shetland Islands fall within our area, including Braehoulland.

Common questions from Braehoulland clients
Will the toilets in our Braehoulland 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.
Will you travel to Braehoulland on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Braehoulland included. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in the majority of cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Usually not. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
