How we handle washroom sealing in Burray Village
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. Most enquiries involve open joints at the base of cubicle panels and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed, across vanity units and basins, accessible toilets and changing rooms and IPS panels and cubicles.

Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Wet areas in Burray Village’s workplaces
Burray Village is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Burray Village is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Washrooms near Burray Village get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints. For a hotel such as The Sands Hotel, which lies south-east of Burray Village, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Burray Village is about 9 miles south of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Our applicators travel to Burray Village for work on washrooms and wet areas. Burray Village is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands on our list.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Burray Village is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- 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
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Basins and vanity tops
Natural stone tops can be marked by acetoxy silicone, so the product is chosen to suit.
Urinals and WC pans
We reseal around urinals and pans with a sanitary grade once the whole of the old bead has gone.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and photograph anything new.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.

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. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Burray Village, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Questions about Burray Village
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Burray Village?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Will the toilets in our Burray Village 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.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We do. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. The work is phased around patients or residents.
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 usually get a visit.
