Charlestown: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Charlestown outside your area?
Not at all. Charlestown is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Must a hotel around Charlestown close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Normally not. The mould is inside the silicone so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
Wet areas in Charlestown’s workplaces
Charlestown lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Charlestown. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
For a hotel such as Aberdeen Altens Hotel, 1 mile to the north-east of Charlestown, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available. For buildings on a site such as Balmoral Business Park, 0.7 miles to the north-east of Charlestown, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week. Student showers at universities like Robert Gordon University (1.7 miles north-west of Charlestown) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Charlestown before they leak.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
