Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Broughton
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. We work on urinals and WCs, IPS panels and cubicles and showers, trays and wet room floors, and what we are called in for most is sealant stained black around basins and showers and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Broughton it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Ground-floor premises below tenements in Scotland’s cities often have small staff toilets and kitchens. Small rooms that don’t dry out are where mould gets into sealant first.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why deal with it now?
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. Getting access arranged for a building in Broughton takes time, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Work on a big city site in Scotland typically involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- 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.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example 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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Busy facilities in and around Broughton
Broughton sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Broughton has seven care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. Work is agreed with the manager, around residents’ routines.
For centre management at a site such as St. James Centre, which lies south of Broughton, washroom work is planned around footfall. Colleges such as Royal College of General Practitioners Edinburgh (to the south-west of Broughton) have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates.
Broughton is about 1 mile north-east of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Commercial clients in Broughton use us for work on washrooms and wet areas, as part of our coverage of Edinburgh. Broughton is one of 174 places in Edinburgh on our list.

Questions we’re asked in Broughton
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Western General Hospital (Edinburgh)?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Edinburgh - Holyrood Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
Do you need washroom sealing in Broughton?
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
Healthcare estates like Western General Hospital (Edinburgh) (to the west of Broughton) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.
What to look for in a quote
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
What the job involves on each surface
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Every joint is stripped, degreased, dried and given a new bead.
Basins and vanity tops
Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Prompt resealing keeps the unit sound.
