General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Washroom sealing in Chesser, done properly
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and sealant stained black around basins and showers, across vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Chesser first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
City hotels, restaurants and bars in Scotland need washrooms that look cared for and kitchens that clean easily. Washrooms get anti-mould sanitary silicone and kitchens hygienic sealant, food-safe where needed.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Chesser as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Work on a big city site in Scotland usually involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Why act early in Chesser
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days but the growth is inside the bead and returns. A full reseal deals with it and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Getting access arranged for a building in Chesser takes time, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Chesser
Being in the east of Scotland, Chesser gets less rain than the west coast. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather. There are nine care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Chesser. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. Each room is kept out of use only as long as the sealant needs.
En suites at hotels like Tynecastle Park Hotel, 1 mile to the north-east of Chesser, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. At a retail site such as Edinburgh West Retail Park (less than half a mile north-east of Chesser), public and staff toilets see heavy use, so mouldy or split sealant is best replaced in phases.
Chesser is about 2 miles south-west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Chesser sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Chesser is one of 174 places we cover in Edinburgh.

What we are called out for in Chesser
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed, and shower trays shift under foot. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
At a university such as Edinburgh Napier University (less than half a mile south-west of Chesser), summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms.
