Busy facilities in and around Craigour
With the shore within about 3 miles, Craigour counts as a coastal location, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Being in the east of Scotland, Craigour gets less rain than the west coast. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
For a hotel such as Northumberland Hotel (1.5 miles north-west of Craigour), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available. At a retail site such as Craigmillar Shopping Centre (1.3 miles north of Craigour), public and staff toilets see heavy use, so mouldy or split sealant is best replaced in phases. Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as University of Edinburgh Bioquarter (under half a mile north-east of Craigour) are easiest to reseal during vacations.

About our washroom sealing in Craigour
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. If you have split or peeling sealant at shower trays and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed, we can put it right, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Craigour first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs: Craigour
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Royal Hospital for Children and Young People?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do hotels near Craigour have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Craigour can form part of a wider programme across Edinburgh.
What happens if it’s left?
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Why us?
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- A fixed quote before work starts
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- The size and state of each joint
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send your site hours and access windows
