FAQs: Comely Bank
Do hotels near Comely Bank have to close for sealant work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Edinburgh - Lauriston Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We do. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. The work is phased around patients or residents.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can one quote cover more than one building?

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and log what you find.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.

Washroom sealing around Comely Bank: points for this area
Comely Bank sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Comely Bank. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time.
Student showers at universities like University of Edinburgh - Lauriston Campus (1.2 miles south-east of Comely Bank) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it. En suites at hotels like The Bonham Hotel, 0.5 miles south of Comely Bank, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. At a college such as Royal College of General Practitioners Edinburgh, which lies east of Comely Bank, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term.

Why act early in Comely Bank
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed for now. In Comely Bank, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
