How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Several buildings in and around Dalkeith can be done on one programme. Share your working hours and access arrangements and we will fit in.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

How we handle washroom sealing in Dalkeith
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. The enquiries we see most involve stained sealant around pans and urinals and open joints along basins and vanity units, across kitchens and tea points, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Dalkeith? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In a Scottish town such as Dalkeith, washrooms and wet areas are in schools, leisure centres, care homes, health centres, hotels and offices. We replace mouldy or split sealant with anti-mould sanitary silicone, area by area.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Dalkeith as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Urinals and WC pans
The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. We include them in the survey.
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal

Do you need washroom sealing in Dalkeith?
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We check for that first and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as Queen Margaret University (to the north of Dalkeith) are easiest to reseal during vacations.

Commercial washrooms in Dalkeith
Dalkeith is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Dalkeith. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
Toilets at colleges like Newbattle Abbey College, 0.6 miles to the south of Dalkeith, take heavy use from students and staff alike. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Midlothian Community Hospital (1.3 miles south-west of Dalkeith) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. Wet weather and frost are hard on failed joints in a Scottish town like Dalkeith, and the damage spreads from there. Resealing early keeps it a simple job.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
