How we handle washroom sealing in Denholm
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. We work on vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and a new bead over an old one coming away. Most enquiries from Denholm start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Denholm, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What else we do in Denholm
For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Common problems we fix in Denholm
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- A new bead over an old one coming away
For a hotel such as Cross Keys Hotel, less than half a mile west of Denholm, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Where we can, we combine work around Denholm with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- 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.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
FAQs: Denholm
Is Denholm too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is a hospital such as Hawick Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Commercial washrooms in Denholm
Being in the east of Scotland, Denholm gets less rain than the west coast. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Halls linked to places like Minto Parish Church host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant. At a school such as Craigmount School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.
