Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can work in a care setting near Braepark go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
About our washroom sealing in Braepark
From one staff toilet in Braepark to washrooms across a whole estate, the route is the same: details first, then a fixed quote, then the work, then the 12-month guarantee. A few photographs and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. If you’re dealing with split or peeling sealant at shower trays and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Braepark start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
City hotels, restaurants and bars in Scotland need washrooms that look cared for and kitchens that clean easily. Washrooms get anti-mould sanitary silicone and kitchens hygienic sealant, food-safe where needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Keeping Braepark washrooms open while we work
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Braepark, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. The area within 2 miles of Braepark holds several hotels. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
At a college such as Edinburgh College - Granton Campus, 2.5 miles to the east of Braepark, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term. Clinical washrooms at sites like Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 2.2 miles to the south-east of Braepark, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.
Braepark is about 4 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Our applicators travel to Braepark for work on washrooms and wet areas, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Edinburgh, 174 places are covered, Braepark among them.

Landmarks near Braepark
Braepark’s nearest station is Edinburgh Gateway station, about 1.8 miles south of the centre. A little further out are The Gyle Shopping Centre (1.9 miles south) and Corstorphine Hospital (2.1 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Corstorphine Hill and Dundas Loch.
Why it’s worth doing now in Braepark
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What we’re called out for in Braepark
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
Units at estates like West Craigs Industrial Estate (to the south of Braepark) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We’ll tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
