About our washroom sealing in Craigentinny
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. Site teams most often ask us about kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and sealant stained black around basins and showers, on vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Craigentinny, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In Scotland’s cities, university, hospital and office estates have washrooms and wet areas in nearly every building. We reseal them in phases, agreed with the estates or facilities team.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Edinburgh. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

Your questions answered
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Edinburgh - Holyrood Campus for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (Little France)?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles

For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Craigentinny can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Edinburgh.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
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.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Craigentinny, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
Do you need washroom sealing in Craigentinny?
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges so grime sticks to the damaged surface.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
Colleges such as Edinburgh College - Milton Road Campus, 1.8 miles to the south-east of Craigentinny, have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates.

Craigentinny lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Craigentinny. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice.
For a site such as Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (Little France), which lies south of Craigentinny, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method. In a centre such as Seaforth Retail Park, 0.7 miles north-west of Craigentinny, public washrooms are resealed a block of facilities at a time.
