Advice
How we handle washroom sealing in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe
In a commercial washroom, sealant is normally 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 mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. If you have sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For washroom work around Bràigh na h-Aoidhe, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Washroom sealing in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe: the local picture
Bràigh na h-Aoidhe sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Being on an island, Bràigh na h-Aoidhe means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Send photographs of each washroom and how many there are, so the visit is planned properly.
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at St Columba's Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard. At a hospital like Western Isles Hospital, 2.9 miles north-west of Bràigh na h-Aoidhe, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
Bràigh na h-Aoidhe is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Any commercial site in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe is covered. Bràigh na h-Aoidhe is one of 87 places we cover in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Open joints along basins and vanity units

Bràigh na h-Aoidhe: questions and answers
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe for resealing?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Will you travel to Bràigh na h-Aoidhe on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Bràigh na h-Aoidhe included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
