What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Urinals and WC pans

Healthcare and care settings
In healthcare, sealed joints are part of infection control. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements as well as site permits.
Washroom sealing around Broughton: points for this area
Broughton is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Broughton Parish Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard. For a site such as Kello Hospital, which lies west of Broughton, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.
Broughton is about 17 miles south-west of Penicuik, in the Scottish Borders. Anywhere in ML12, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our the Scottish Borders coverage takes in 91 places, large and small. We also cover Edinburgh, around 24 miles from Broughton.
Postcode districts covered here: ML12 for washrooms and wet areas. If your site is on Woodilee and Hawdene or close by, we can quote for washrooms and wet areas. We also cover Skirling (3 miles north-west), Candy Mill (4 miles north-west), Biggar (4 miles west), Kirkurd (5 miles north) and Elsrickle (5 miles north-west). Bigger towns within reach include Peebles (9 miles east), Innerleithen (14 miles east) and West Linton (10 miles north).

What affects the price in Broughton
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal
- How much existing material needs removing
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Location, for remote and island sites
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Broughton is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- 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.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Questions we’re asked in Broughton
Is Broughton too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Broughton are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will the toilets in our Broughton building be out of use?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and photograph anything new.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
