About our washroom sealing in Clivocast
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and IPS panels and cubicles, and what we are called in for most is panel joints letting water behind and sealant stained black around basins and showers. For commercial sealant work in Clivocast, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

Commercial washrooms in Clivocast
Clivocast is within about 1 mile of the coast, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Being on an island, Clivocast means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Knowing how many washrooms there are lets us plan the days on the island.
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Uyeasound Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
Clivocast is in the Shetland Islands. We cover commercial sites throughout Clivocast, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Across the Shetland Islands, 63 places are covered, including Clivocast.

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Clivocast is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Common problems we fix in Clivocast
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Look out for the following:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
In any commercial washroom in or near Clivocast, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.
What to look for in a quote
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used and signage stays in place until that time.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Why act early in Clivocast
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. Around smaller places like Clivocast, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Common questions from Clivocast clients
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Clivocast for resealing?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Which documents can you supply for work in Clivocast?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
We phase it so there are always facilities open. We work through the building a room or section at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
