How we handle washroom sealing in Broughtown
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. If you have stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and mould spotting along silicone joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Broughtown first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For washroom work around Broughtown, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Send photos and a room list and we will give a fixed quote.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Sanitary sealant for Broughtown buildings
Broughtown lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Broughtown is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
For buildings around Broughtown, washrooms can be done in phases so some facilities are always open. Around Broughtown, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
Broughtown is about 23 miles north-east of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We send applicators to Broughtown for washrooms and wet areas, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 51 places in the Orkney Islands, from busy centres to rural villages.
Anyone looking for washroom sealing in KW17 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. If your building is just outside Broughtown, we cover Lady (2 miles east), Wardhill (10 miles south), Pierowall (14 miles west), Rackwick (14 miles west) and Brinian (16 miles south-west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Vanity units and basins

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The postcode of the building
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Where we can, we combine work around Broughtown with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- 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.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.

Advice
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair, so reseal when you first spot a split.
Surface by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Vanity tops and basins are splashed all day, so the joint to the wall and around each bowl fails early. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Healthcare and care settings
Clinics, hospitals and care homes need joints that can be kept clean. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any permits the site uses.
Questions about Broughtown
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Broughtown?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Will the toilets in our Broughtown building be out of use?
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.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
