Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Clouston
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, across kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Clouston it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Clouston is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photos and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

FAQs: Clouston
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Robert Gordon University Orkney Project?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Will all the washrooms in our Clouston building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
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.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed. The work is phased around patients or residents.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you cover Clouston?
Yes. We cover Clouston, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Sanitary sealant for Clouston buildings
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Clouston, 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 we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Clouston is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Stenness Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. En suites at hotels like Standing Stones Hotel (less than half a mile north of Clouston) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Clouston is about 9 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We send applicators to Clouston for washrooms and wet areas, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 51 places across the Orkney Islands fall within our area, Clouston among them.
Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout KW16, for business premises of every kind. Close to Clouston, our area also takes in Stenness (1 mile north-east), Cairston (2 miles west), Grimeston (2 miles north), Germiston (3 miles east) and Wasbister (3 miles north-west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Nearby you will also find Stromness Museum (3.3 miles south-west). Not far away are Brodgar RSPB Reserve and Loch of Stenness.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and photograph anything new.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
From enquiry to sign-off
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 each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs near Clouston are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.

What we’re called out for in Clouston
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as Robert Gordon University Orkney Project (to the south-west of Clouston) are easiest to reseal during vacations.

How the job changes by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.
