Washroom sealing in Bunessan
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. We work on kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors, and what we are called in for most is failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Bunessan tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller Scottish places like Bunessan, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

FAQs: Bunessan
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Bunessan?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Bunessan off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
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. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.

What else we do in Bunessan
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet-room floors and the joints where flooring turns up the wall need to stay sound. We reseal the floor-to-wall junctions and around drains where sealant is used.
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant and we look at them as one job.
Why act early in Bunessan
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right for now. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Bunessan, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Wet areas in Bunessan’s workplaces
Bunessan sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Being in the west of Scotland, Bunessan gets more rain than eastern areas. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner.
Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Kilvickeon Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. Where we can, we combine work around Bunessan with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- 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.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

When to call us in Bunessan
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges so grime sticks to the damaged surface.
Look out for the following:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
Washrooms near Bunessan get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.
