Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Creag Ghoraidh
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs, and what we are called in for most is open joints at the base of cubicle panels and failed sealant behind washroom basins. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Creag Ghoraidh 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.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Creag Ghoraidh tends to be seasonal, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building near Creag Ghoraidh, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
These are the things that shape the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any dates the work must fit around
- 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.

Questions we are asked in Creag Ghoraidh
Is Creag Ghoraidh inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Creag Ghoraidh included. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photos and a full list first.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Uist and Barra Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we carry public liability insurance.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Creag Ghoraidh
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
For a hotel such as The Isle of Benbecula House Hotel (under half a mile north-west of Creag Ghoraidh), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Keeping Creag Ghoraidh washrooms open while we work
Creag Ghoraidh lies within about 1 mile of the sea, 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. The west of Scotland, where Creag Ghoraidh is, gets more rain than the east. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner.
For a site such as Uist and Barra Hospital, which lies north-west of Creag Ghoraidh, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.
Creag Ghoraidh (Gaelic: Creagorry) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. We cover commercial sites throughout Creag Ghoraidh, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Creag Ghoraidh is one of 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar on our list.
Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout HS7, whatever the building. If your site is on Barraid na Faoghla and Princes Street or close by, send details and we will quote for washrooms and wet areas. Close to Creag Ghoraidh, our area also takes in Grimsay (2 miles east), Geirinis (4 miles south), Balivanich (4 miles north-west), Baile a' Mhanaich (5 miles north-west) and Locheport (10 miles north). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so the full address helps from the start.
