Commercial clients in Crathes
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.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Washroom sealing in Crathes, done properly
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. If you have complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Crathes, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For washroom work around Crathes, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Aberdeenshire. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Washroom sealing around Crathes: what changes locally
The east of Scotland, where Crathes is, gets less rain than the west. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
Healthcare estates like Glen O'Dee Hospital, 4 miles west of Crathes, expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom. For an occupier at a site such as Banchory Trade Park, 2.3 miles west of Crathes, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.
Crathes is about 13 miles south-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire. We send applicators to Crathes for washrooms and wet areas, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Aberdeenshire, 179 places are covered, Crathes among them. Sites around Aberdeen have their own page, about 13 miles away.
We take on washrooms and wet areas across the AB31 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. Buildings on Hollybush Lane and Green Banks are within our area for washrooms and wet areas. Nearby places we also cover include Crossroads (1 mile south), Kirkton of Durris (1 mile east), Balfour (2 miles east), Woodlands (2 miles east) and Banchory (3 miles west). Nearby towns on our patch include Westhill (8 miles north-east), Stonehaven (9 miles south-east), Portlethen (10 miles east), Kemnay (12 miles north), Kintore (12 miles north) and Aboyne (14 miles west).

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
Why act early in Crathes
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Crathes, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Quoting for work in Crathes
What shapes the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Phasing around occupants
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
What the job involves on each surface
Urinals and WC pans
Floor joints around WC pans are often forgotten. We include them in the survey.
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Common questions from Crathes clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Glen O'Dee Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Crathes too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee backed by public liability insurance.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
