Questions about Carrington
Is Carrington too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Carrington is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Midlothian Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
Wet areas in Carrington’s workplaces
Carrington is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Midlothian Community Hospital (3.2 miles north of Carrington) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules. Office toilets at parks like Dalhousie Business Park, 2 miles to the north of Carrington, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.
Carrington is about 3 miles south of Bonnyrigg, in Midlothian. Anywhere in EH23, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Carrington is one of 34 places we cover in Midlothian. Sites around Edinburgh have their own page, about 9 miles away.

Different surfaces, different methods
Urinals and WC pans
We reseal around urinals and pans with a sanitary grade after the old bead and residue are removed.
Showers and trays
Shower trays move under foot and are wet all day. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. We’ll tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Carrington, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Commercial clients in Carrington
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
