What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal

How we handle washroom sealing in Crutherland
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. Site teams most often ask us about urinal joints that look unhygienic and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, across kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs 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 Crutherland, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What we are called out for in Crutherland
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
Toilets at places like East Kilbride Shopping Centre (1.5 miles north-west of Crutherland) are cleaned constantly, so silicone needs to be sound and smooth.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Jobs near Crutherland are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

FAQs: Crutherland
Is a hospital such as Hairmyres Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like South Lanarkshire College?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in the majority of cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed. The work is phased around patients or residents.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Any access equipment needed
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The postcode of the building
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.

Crutherland is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner. The area within 2 miles of Crutherland holds several hotels. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
Hotels such as Crutherland House Hotel, under half a mile to the south-east of Crutherland, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room. For a college such as South Lanarkshire College (0.8 miles north of Crutherland), half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life and give mould a start.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
Why act early in Crutherland
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. For buildings near Crutherland, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
